About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover Japan during a year !

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew up in Bordeaux in France.
I have one sister and two brothers
From 2010 to 2015, I was an engineer in mathematical and mechanical modelisations. But I decided to quit my job to travel during one year in Japan.

PHILOSOPHY

"On est toujours le con de quelqu'un", literally "you always are somebody else's assh**e". I always try to keep in mind that different opinions and ways of life exist, and it is useless to reject them. It is way more interesting trying to understand why these people do/think what they do/think. It is not easy everyday ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was very glad to see one of the last launch of an american space shuttle from Tittusville (Florida). It lasted less than five minutes but it was really impressive.
I enjoyed running my first marathon in Prague which is, so far, the more beautiful city I have ever seen.
