About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn something new ever single day of my life and share it with family and friends.

ABOUT ME

Traveling has become an addiction. It's like a disease, one of the best: The need to discover, to go everywhere and meet so much people around our little planet. One life might not be enough to realize all my dreams. Fortunately, my job is all about being abroad. I'm really easy to live with and fun to go out with. Kind of strange mix. I read people well and will know how to respect others needs. I prefer listening rather than talk, but can also have serious fun... I take life one minute at the time and adapt quite well to any situation.

PHILOSOPHY

Whenever you think everything is lost, you have to realize you have gained freedom. So don't worry about what you could lose... Don't worry to be free...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in a small village in Africa for a few months was an incredible experience. Living in the most modest conditions was incredibly hard but so rich at the end of it. I was there supervising a group of 20 teenagers.

Also meeting his Holiness The Dalai Lama in India was unbelievable ( I never thought I would feel so deeply touched)

Teach, Learn, Share

An old passion: I was a salsa teacher for 2 years. Now I only dance for fun but it will be a pleasure to teach a few basic (or advanced) steps if interested.

My new passion: sailing!!! I will spend a week on a boat around St-Martin !! Can't wait to be there!!! and ready to learn about it!!

Learning is one of the main goals in my life... Je suis toujours tres ouvert a tout apprendre!! Cuisine, nouveau sport, tricot... pourquoi pas!!
