About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get as many interesting experiences as I can

ABOUT ME

I'm a good guy ;)
I'm both Swiss and Hungarian and live in Geneva, where I study sociologyand where I also take part in some youth organisations, as I believe both that we have to change what we don't like in the world, even at a small scale, and that young have a huge empowerment to find new ideas. During my free time, I enjoy:
rock climbing
Swimming
Partying
and to play clarinet.

PHILOSOPHY

We can't synthtise a philosophy in a couple of world, so here's some quotes that inspire me:

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today!" Mark Twain

"La vie est une pièce de théâtre: ce qui compte n'est pas qu'elle dure longtemps, mais qu'elle soit bien jouée." Sénèque

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

"Si vous pensez que l'aventure est dangereuse, essayez la routine... elle est mortelle." Paolo Coelho

"La vida es como la bicicleta, hay que pedalar hacia adelante para no perder el equilibrio." Einstein

"Le seul monde qui mérite d'être conquis est celui que délimitent notre peau et nos pensées. Les autres existent pour être visités." Pierre Bottero

"Si vous avez l'impression que vous êtes trop petit pour changer quelque chose, essayez donc de dormir avec un moustique... Et vous verrez lequel des deux empêche l'autre de dormir." Dalaï-Lama

"Rester, c'est exister mais voyager, c'est vivre." Gustave Nadaud
