CURRENT MISSION

Finding my place by finding places

ABOUT ME

It seems too difficult to describe oneself but I feel like being curious, respectful, calm and resourceful and want to improve all I don't like in myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll let a professional state it for me :

« Connaître, ce n'est point démontrer, ni expliquer. C'est accéder à la vision. »
(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

"Knowing is not showing or explaining. It's an access to vision."
