CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out life and enjoy it to the fullest

ABOUT ME

Citizen of the world, I have lived 15 years abroad in South Korea, Gabon, France, Australia, Malaysia and Japan.

I love to travel, enjoy different cultures, meet interesting people, discover beautiful landscapes and live unforgetable experiences and sometimes life-changing ones.

I am very curious and have lots of interests such as gastronomy, digital and geek stuff, photography, urban arts, cinema, queer culture, associative work, music festivals, literature, travelling...

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is impossible to write everything down, I have pretty eclectic tastes, I like all kinds of music (electro, trip-hop, pop-rock, urban, classical...) and I love going to the movies or discover great films through friends, I love reading and spending time in libraries !
