About Me

CURRENT MISSION

exploring around in all possible ways

ABOUT ME

I am in Geneva for work. My job takes up most of my time but I always succeed in breaking the rhythm, any excuse is good to escape from my duties...

I like water, in any form. Better if cold. I like rain, snow, lakes, and of course the ocean. I really wouldn't be able to live anywhere far from the water.

I enjoy to travel, and I have the fortune to travel for work often! Most of the time I am on my own, enjoying the tension of discovering new palaces on my way, sometimes worried... I always got back with new experiences having gotten to know a bit the people and places I visited.
Despite I am terrible in starting and concluding anything, I love the beginning and the conclusion of my trips. The slower they are the more I like them.

Interests

I love being outside. No matter how the weather is like I always try to get out.
I prefer open than close, silence than noise, dark than light, moving than staying still, reading than watching a movie, contradictions that straightness, provocativeness than kindness...

I love the sea and sailing, swimming and diving, the mountain and skiing.

I have rediscovered the bicycle, and riding it is one of the pleasure of my everyday life. It gives me a healthy and concrete feeling of accomplishment.

All this does not apply when I am enjoying reading a book on my couch, with a worm drink in well illuminated and worm place ;)
