__15.__Which historical figure do you most identify with?
I'm totally hermetical to history, probably because I'd rather live in the present, or the future. But, it would have been interesting to live in the 19th century, meeting Proust, having dinner with Zola and Cezanne. Dream team !
__16.__ And the final word, where do you dream of travelling to?
I'm attracted by cold, wild landscapes. So, to the Lofoten Islands again, or to see beluga whales in the artic ocean is a dream
