Overview
About Me
I would say that travelling is in my nature. I grew up in a small village in France which always gave me the feeling that the world is waiting for me to explore it. New places appear to me as new challenges and I never leave a place with regrets because I know that a new one is already waiting for me.
After working 4 years in the transport industry, I have decided to quit my job and spend one year in Chile and Argentina to learn Spanish and discover these amazing countries.
MY PHILOSOPHY
I've always liked this quote from Oscar Wild:
"Wisdom is to have dreams big enough not to lose sight when we pursue them. "
I think the most important in life is to never give up what we believe in, even in the worst situations.
Live your life as fully as you can, you only have one.

Teach, Learn, Share
Foreign languages are my main strengths!
I am particularly close to the Asian culture as I am myself half vietnamese.
I can bake the best chocolate cake you'll ever eat!!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good moments, good talks !! As long as I can teach them anything and I can learn something in return, that sounds perfect to me!
