CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the life.... It's too short

ABOUT ME

I actualize my profile : i've lived in Lyon, France for One year : i came here for a training in humanitarian project management... But i fell in love with the Rhone Alpes Région, and i hope to settle here for my life, after my humanitarian experience... I'm going to Centrafrican Republic next month (may 2010) for a mission with the Red Cross... Let's meet in Lyon after my african trip!

Written 2 years ago...
I'm a sentisitive person, but quite active and dynamic. At 21, i spent one year in Canada (exchange student), and i came back to France as another person... : I knew that travelling will be part of myself...
At 23, i went for 6 months to Thailand (for an internship in the north of Bangkok) : not easy everyday, it was a good experience in my mind... My best memories are my 2 days in the paddyfields of northeast (khon kean)and my trip in the country with my sister at the end of my stay, far from the pollution of Bangkok!
at 24, I Said NO to spend one year in Niger... Big Mistake or not? I don't know... I was afraid by i don't know why... so, instead, i went to canada, again, for 4 month, a new great experience. But West Africa is now always in my mind... I went there in 2006, one crazy and extraordinary week in Mali (hosted by a good friend)... I loved Africa... I definitly want to go back ! People, colours, landscapes...
The destiny brought me in Canada again (Toronto). I was supposed to be here one year, maybe it'll be more...
