About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working for a start-up rearing insects and transforming them into food for animals (dogs, cats, fish, etc.)

ABOUT ME

I am french/polish guy, I was born in Paris and lived there until I was 14. Then I moved to Poland for about 5 years. I came back to study in Paris. I had the opportunity to travel a lot thanks to my exchange programs (Netherlands and Spain) and my friends.

I am very sociable person. I loved talking to people and trying to understand who they really are. I am keen on discovering new cultures, new languages, new habits and way of living. In addition, I am really self fulfill when I have at the same time transmit something to my friends such as culture, passions and other random stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
