Personal Background
I’m a French Canadian, married to an Indonesian with a beautiful 17 year old daughter. I currently live in Abu Dhabi and commuting to Singapore nearly every month to visit friends and family (25% Singapore, 75% Abu Dhabi). I’m a very curious person who enjoys exploration, cultures, countries, music etc. I’ve lived in Canada, USA, Indonesia, Japan, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, and UAE. A foodie at heart, I enjoy great food and wine. For sport, I love discovering Singapore through cycling and using park facilities to round off my weight training. I enjoy meeting new people and get totally engrossed in conversation.
