Leisure


I find it takes a lot of discipline to make room for non-work related activities.

Music

My taste in music is pretty eclectic. I enjoy particularly jazz and classical. But I like to try new things. Over the years I have learned to discover new things, like house or Indian and relaxation musics.

Gardening

Every since I was a kid, I have always tried to grow plants. I even spent a few years in an agricultural school in my teens. I find it relaxing to "work" towards

organising a garden (in my case two terraces) and watch it grow. Time passing by... Also I have developed a keen interest in cactii in the last few years. My Paris flat is filled with them, and going to garden centers to find new types has become a favorite Sunday afternoon activity. 

Travel

I don't do enough of it these days. I like the feeling of going some new place and allowing its spirit to grow on you (or rediscovering known places) -- people, ways of doing things, nature...

Sports

Rowing is something I've alwasy wanted to try -- without getting around to actually doing it... When I get a chance I love to ride horses, sail and swim. 

Arts

Although I can't really afford to buy too much of it, I like Art Deco. Also : Matisse, Picasso, artistic photography and new modern artists. 

Alternative medecine

As I get older (...), I am more and more interested about different ways of understanding health.

As far as I can see, alternative medecine is a set of therapeutic practices which are not currently considered an integral part of conventional allopathic medical practice. They may lack biomedical explanations but as they become better researched some become widely accepted whereas others quitely fade away. They have been of some cultures for many centuries. I have seen them at work in Thailand, and they are being talked about more and more in Europe and America. I have recently had my first reflexology experience ; I am still exploring…
