About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meeting people and enjoy Beirut life during my one year stay in Lebanon

ABOUT ME

Well, I think my main characteristic is curiosity. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I like spending time sharing experiences and point of views. As a musician, music is one of my favourite ways of discovering cultures and people. I am open-minded and very adaptative.
Right now I do not feel like living in France, so I decided to move to Chad to work in humanitarian affairs, whcich is very interesting but very demanding at the same time.
What else? I am a good cook and like to cook and share with my friends. I am alwats motivated to do things that i haev never done before, and always up for going out.

PHILOSOPHY

Right now, I am just all about being free, I do not feel like settling down, so I try to work everywhere I can in the world,to travel and to simply discover different people and different places.
Philosophically per say, I would say hedonostico-optimistico-realistic. with a pinch of idealism

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a large collection of music that I would like to share with people who can complete it! Reggae , funk, electromusic, world music, classical(while Iam working), jazz.
Regarding the movies, it depends on the mood, entertainement,thriller, or genre movies, all kind of stuff really, I do not have a specific genra, I am not to fond of mushy movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

motobike raodtrip in laos, hitchhiking (love it) in the US, being hosted by Jamaican mafia while traveling in the island, or working with refugee camps in Chad right now is pretty amazing, and so on.
