About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, discover, meet, ask, listen, understand.

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded person interested in discovering people, cities and landscapes. I like talking and sharing, listening to every kind of music (especially hip-hop, reggae and electro), dancing, reading, writing, drawing, taking pictures. I love almost every form of art, especially paintings.

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been bitten by a scorpio in Sahara desert, but I survived! (Thanks to a Canadian doctor who was staying just behind the dune for the night...)
