About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I live for traveling and I'd love to travel for living !

ABOUT ME

Character found of litterature, poetry, music, cinema, theater, photography.
I love writing and I worked as a cultural journalist for Radio Nova. I also worked as an Editor-in-chief & Product owner (well let's just say 'journalist') in a new media which aims to reconnect young people with politics. And I am now a writer and podcast producer.

PHILOSOPHY

"Self love is the very first romance" (Akua Naru, a great hip-hop singer from New Haven).

"I don't write to say what I think but to know what I think".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

... We'll talk about it. Curious to hear yours

I think of drinking a delicious lassi in India next to a peaceful hindu temple, next door to the Ganges in Benares.

I think of crossing the United States from NYC to Nevada in a car in a sorry state and contemplating the splendid arid landscape of the dry states.
