CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hey ho! I'm Andrea.
I love beer, I love hanging with new people while drinking a nice beer, I love art (especially brewery)...I'm clean and respectful. My native language is French. Then I speak Spanish, English and I speak some German. I like to party, but I also like having peaceful moments. My English is not perfect, and when I'm speaking with someone who speaks it perfectly, it gets worse (it's funny). I like to bike. You will surely see me writing in my journal, that's because I forget everything. No but, for real, my memory is broken somewhere! So I write down everything to remember. I like to try new things. I like to visit a place by walking in it and discovering things. I don't really do lots of research about touristic things as I like to be surprised... It can be bad in a way since I can miss stuff, but I'll never know I missed them, I prefer that than knowing there's something really cool I'd like to see, building expectations that I'll see it and not seeing it at the end for some reason... and be disappointed. I prefer finding them on hasard and be surprised!
