Universite Toulouse le Mirail. great time, cool friends, but le Mirail sucked ass!

international and intercultural sector

traveling; architecture/design/art (especially modern/contemporary ones!); politics; learn about other cultures; clubbing/dancing; learning foreign languages; hockey (let's go Caps! Ovechkin!); raising penguins on the internet; having fun; meeting new people; discovering new places

I go crazy for books related to design, architecture, arts, i could spend lot of money on it. I also usually try to learn languages with the help of books. French authors i love and one book of each of them i would really advice: St Exupery (XX century- the Little Prince.. gorgeous!), Maupassant (XIX century- A woman's life.. so real.. ), Beaumarchais (XVIII- Figaro's wedding.. revolutionary before the time! and so fun to read!), Hugo (XIX- powerful writing. often political. hard to pick up one book), Zola (XIX- J'accuse is also powerful), Beaudelaire's (XIX- Invitation to Travel in the Flowers of Evil) and Rimbaud's (XIX- The Sleeper in the Valley) poems; Queneau (XX- Between Blue and Blue; Excercise in Style.. even if i wonder how it gets once translated..); Voltaire (XVIII- Candide.. so fun and philosophical). Ok i have to stop my list somewhere!

Amelie, Team Americaa (fuck ya!), la Marche de l'Empereur, and others, but i don't have them in mind right now!

Lotsss of stuff! i love lounge/house/electro music, rock/pop-rock and pretty much everything that puts me in a good mood (hate "dark" music) or makes me wanna dance. And the group that defines the best my mood of the moment is Thievery Corporation: they're from DC, sing in a bunch of languages, their sound meets perfectly what i've been seeking and the design of their site eslmusic is just perfect!

South Park (that's how i improve my english "screw you guys i'm going home!"), Chappelle Show ("uhm-mmm bitch!"), Sex and the City, Friends, NCIS (i wonder why!), That 70's Show, Project Runway (desiiiign). I also enjoy documentaries on History/discovey/Nal Geographic etc channels (when I have time!). My fav program in France is C'est Dans l'Air (one hour debates on current issues every week days)

I've already said a lot in my hobbies and interests! I love life and the opportunities it offers us: meeting new interesting people, achieving dreams, having bunch of different experiences and also overcoming obstacles and becoming stronger from it.
I love traveling and discovering new cultures, and i love globetrotting by myself too! that's adventure!! i love speaking in foreign languages, che cazzo! I love having fun, hangin' out with friends, dancing, listening to music....getting fucked up!! prosit!
I love having projects, especially projects of new work/travel experiences in foreign countries.
What else? I'm also Catholic: I advise anybody to go to Taize in France or to take part of any World Youth Day. that's awesome!!!! life-changing experiences!
I used to be creative (painting on glass etc)...but i don't have time anymore.. i need more time to do all i'd like to!

~That's all folks~

I've had the two grants (been to Naples -and i didn't know Randy yet!- and Thailand) and now i'm in the jury and help selecting the projects.
