Yeah about the title, that's because I'm French, born in Paris. I moved to Seattle three years ago now, when Microsoft decided to relocate me here. And well so far I love the city, even the rain! Except that maybe, it's kind of hard to meet new friends (who are not colleagues!), mostly when you come from a foreign country, and English is your second language :) Well I don't go out that much, I'm not really a party guy. But I believe that I'm an easy going and laid back person, with values, who enjoys simple things, and just like a leaf on a river, I'll go where I have to go... Life shouldn't be complicated, right?

What I'm looking for? Meeting people, and if there is something special, well there will be something special :) Otherwise let's be friends! I do believe that people create their own opportunities by having the right environment, opening new doors and learning from others... That said, if you know how to play the guitar, that would be great for me because I'm currently learning and I think I really suck. Or if you want to learn French, well I'm not a good teacher, but since I want to improve my English, we can find a deal :P

Voila, that's it for now :)
Oh and my name is Nicolas and I don't bite!

PS: there's no shirtless pic but at least I wear a life jacket.

Things I haven't done yet: the Seattle Aquarium, the Experience Music Project, the Science Fiction Museum, the Woodland Park Zoo, canoeing on Lake Washington, Gameworks, walking around Green Lake...

Things I like to do: rollerblading from Elliot Bay Park till the Marina, watching Seattle from Kerry Park in Queen Anne, walking in Downtown Seattle, playing ping pong in some Microsoft buildings!

Otherwise, no plan is a good plan too :)
