CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy each place I am going to for what it has to offer, and meeting people in these places sharing experiences.

ABOUT ME

I am French, I have been been relocating to France after mant years living in Detroit and Abu Dhabi.

I enjoy travelling, but my preferred way to discover a place is not tourism or short travel. It s living in a place, get to know people living there: that is what I did in Abu Dhabi, Detroit, Saigon and that is interesting, I learnt a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to enjoy as much as possible any situation. I have a positive mindset, and focus on the positive instead of the negative.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts
