CURRENT MISSION

Finding a passion and travelling in the mean time

ABOUT ME

I'm currently studying in Paris, after a year of studies in London. Despite having lots of different interests, I have absolutely no clue as to what I'd like to do after my studies. So while I discover life in these amazing cities, stroll around all the beautiful boulevards and enjoy their rich cultural environments, I continuously daydream about all the possibilities in life. Hopefully I'll run into my passion one day. In the mean time, I love travelling, learning about other languages and cultures and just exploring the world, really. And as far as every day life is concerned, I'm just really chilled out and love having conversations over a nice glass of wine just as much as going out to a fabulous fancy dress party.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn from yesterday, live today, hope for tomorrow.
Everything is relative.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went paragliding in the Himalayas in Nepal when I was on a trekking there. And I climbed a mountain in the night, and once on the top I could observe an amazing sunrise on one side, while the moon was still on the other - staggeringly awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... my interests are really broad so I haven't really specialised in a specific area enough to be able to properly teach it. Languages will probably be my best shot.
