CURRENT MISSION: Back nearby Paris, after 8 months flying over wonderful Namibia!

ABOUT ME

I was born in a multicultural environment ; my French father and my German mother met in England and, later on with my two sisters, we lived successively 2 to 3 years in Spain, Germany, France, Nigeria and Iran and we travelled a lot in and around these countries.
From all those years I learned to be patient, to take things as they come and to adapt.
I believe I am curious, open minded, sociable and able to get along well with all types of people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a teenager (a few years ago…), I had the chance to travel 3 times with my parents via various routes from Western Europe to Iran.
I was also lucky enough to take part in a trans-Saharan crossing, with many amazing nights under the stars.
I also have an amazing souvenir of a “personal challenge” consisting in a solo round trip across France in a small aircraft during a dark night.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok, none of this seems consistent but: Native bilingual French/German, after a Master of “Science and Engineering for Food and Bioproducts”, I worked in the IT business and later on, putting into practice Oscar Wilde's famous "Wisdom is to have dreams that are big enough not to lose sight when we pursue them!", I became a professional pilot, "landing" my first flying job in 2013 in Namibia...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talk, joke, laugh, walk, dark chocolate, cup of tea, rice bowl, talk more, etc.
