ABOUT ME
Hi!

This is me. When I was young, my parents brainwashed me into travelling by bringing me along in their lives overseas. Thanks to them I've come to live during childhood amongst four cultures, four countries and four religions. If wanderlust is a disease you could say they gave me the travel virus.

I'm a scientist with an explorer's mind. I live half of the year in La Réunion, monitoring there the lovely volcano called Piton de la Fournaise, the other half in Singapore, doing research on human risks from future volcano disaster in nearby Java and Sumatra. Occasionally I'll be on a field trip to take aerial pictures in earth deserts to help characterize satellite shots of martian surface. Family is in Europe so I go there a couple of times per year too.

A bon entendeur

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Wine and french Apero for those who don't x) . How to prepare a long trip in the wild. Recently learnt how to cook Singapore carrot cake, Hainan chicken rice and fried thai rice yay! (You'll note that most of this concerns food. It's because I love food :)

Learn: anything is fine. Outdoor sport is finer. I am currently trying to get up on a Highline.

Share: a beer -wait, beers-, a hike, a song.
