CURRENT MISSION

Travelling and discovering the world

ABOUT ME

I am a last year engineering physics student. I have a deep love for science and innovation. I love to transmit my knowledge and discuss ideas.

I like languages and culture in general. I am interested by almost anything cultural - literature, poetry, music (I play guitar and am interested by all kinds, jazz and hip-hop in particular), politics, sports (boxing and its history).

I love discussing with people from different horizons and enjoy company.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Know more today about the world than yesterday
2. Lessen the suffering of others
