About Me

CURRENT MISSION

'Heureux qui comme Ulysse a fait un beau voyage ...'

ABOUT ME

First of all, a few words about me, then about my plans.

After my first real experience abroad (Erasmus student), I decided that living in another country would suit me better, would be so much more fulfilling !
I love meeting people from different countries and I am quite addicted to learning languages. I'm involved in a lot of meet ups and ready to go for a coffee anytime. The next one could be with you !
I'm always happy to exchange ideas on a wide variety of subjects.

So now about my plans ...
I lived in Edinburgh for 9 years (2002-2011). After a short spell in France, I spent a year and a half in Gijón (Spain). Back to Bordeaux for a while, then moved to Switzerland in April 2015 till September this year. I've now just started a new trip ! As I'm working mainly through internet, the place where I stay doesn't really matter. Hoping I can meet some nice people along the way !
