Hi everybody !

I find this project really thrilling !

Some information about me :

Born in 1973 in Valleyfield (Quebec, Canada), I lived in Montreal, Seattle (USA) and Paris (France). I have an art degree specialized in new media (at Paris VIII Saint-Denis University) that was directed by the professor Jean-Claude Moineau. I now work as an information system manager. website

I used to keep 3 blogs up-to-date :


 * Linguistic blog of a Quebecer living in France: This blog had the goal to show the differences between the French expressions in France and in Quebec. I explain French expressions I come across while living in France and the ones I remembered from Quebec.


 * Visual diary of a Quebecer living in France: This is a photo blog of my everyday life of art, architecture and new music lover. It is a visual diary, but not one on my intimacy (not on the wave of the reality show, like on tv, no thanks!).
