I am drawn to the drumming of Gene Krupa and Davey Tough, Brâncuși's sculptures, Turner's paintings, the poetry of Laurie Lee and the films of Akira Kurosawa and Orson Welles. I'm eager to improve my spoken and written French. A jolly fellow socially, residing in my current location leaves me feeling trapped. But I may just be looking at life the wrong way. I'm keen to see the world - or learn about it from those who live far away (extra-terrestrial contact welcome).
