About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people from all over the world to confront my stereotypes :)

ABOUT ME

I am a French guy who lives in Malmö, Sweden, enjoying the CS community there. I like meeting different people, trying new things, exploring new places. I am a calm, social and (hopefully) funny person who enjoys outdoor activities, going to concerts, having a beer with friends, and taking pictures of the sunset :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we have more things in common, than things that separate us.
