About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness what else ?

ABOUT ME

I see myself as a very easy going and laid back person
I love cinema and music and mainly photography. I worked on a couple of shootings between Marocco, Spain, the USA and recently Greenland ! that was incredible I speak english and french fluently, and i hope i'll have the chance to learn diferent languages and meet many people as possible.

Like most people on this website, I love traveling. I had the chance to start traveling when i was very young in others country, and that made my learn how to open my minds to other form of cultures . I was lucky to visit a lot of different places, and different people.

for me,the great thing of traveling is meet other people because everyone has an history to tell, an experience to share. That's why I want to do that the must as possible :)

PHILOSOPHY

Hapiness is only real when shared...
