CURRENT MISSION

Work, fun, learning.

ABOUT ME

We are Xavier (26) and Vanessa (29), brother and sister! We've been living together for a while, in the same apartment. Though it's not the case anymore, we decided to keep this account since we've built it up together!

About Vanessa: A crazy girl studying international relations and international law, deeply, madly in love with Europe and its cultures. I started to travel when I was 13 and never stopped since then. For me, meeting new people, learning about their culture, their ideals, their language keeps me alive. I nourish my mind with those kind of experience. Bring it on, world!

About Xavier: The first time my mother told me we were going away on a cruise in the Caribbean, I told her: "No! I'm too scared we are going to sink like the Titanic!" I finally went, had a wonderful time with my family and since then, I couldn't stop traveling.

I'm someone that can't survive without the daily human contact. I'm a people person. Mostly, I feel good when I know that everyone around me feels good.

PHILOSOPHY

"Always trying to avoid the worst, you miss the best"
