About Me

"Nous fuirons le repos nous fuirons le sommeil
Nous prendrons de vitesse l’aube et le printemps
Et nous préparerons des jours et des saisons
À la mesure de nos rêves." Paul Eluard
Which means more or less :
We’ll flee the rest, we’ll flee the sleep
We’ll outpace the dawn and the spring
And we’ll prepare days and seasons worthy of our dreams

I am a huge optimistic person, and I’m curious about a lot of things.
I have a big confidence in life and in the fact that everything that happen will help us in a way.

I’m living in Amiens (France). Which is a really beautiful city, with gardens on water that we call “Hortillonages”
When I’m in France, I’m leaving (for now) in the house of friends so it’s a bit difficult to host people, because I don’t decide it, and we are a lot in the house. But if you’re really in case of emergency, I can try to find a place to host you in a house of other friends.
I lived the past 2 years in Italy (Torino).

I’m enjoying to move a lot at every scale.
Meeting people is also one of the things I like the most.
Feel out of my comfort zone, and challenge things that I was sure about.

I like poetry, and books in general. I enjoy to dance and have a second life in the night. I love underground life/culture but also the “cultivated culture” (refers to a sociologic term of Pierre Bourdieu, which means a more classical culture such as museums or classical music for example).
I enjoy so much to go in the nature and also to discover the architecture of cities and villages.
And i LOVE music. Going to concerts, playing with people, listening and sharing some bands, but I like also the sound of the silence.

I’m a bit messy in the sense that I don’t like to plan things a lot of time before. But I kind of always motivated for activities whatever they could be if I can discover something.
