ABOUT ME

At the moment, I'm waiting the right moment to travel around Asia for 1, 2 or 3 years ! Before this, back to India (and maybe in Iran) for 6 months some time in the end of 2014..
I've finished learning social studies (economics, sociology, media studies). I also like to learn about history, geography, demography, anthropology...
Interested in travels since my first trip in India in 2010. I think I've fallen in love with travels, an unshakeable love !! I used to host quite a lot when I was in Paris.
I'm very relaxed, peaceful and quite a happy person.
I'm cooking delicious Indian, Asian and Persian food...
I'm keen on cinema, books and journalism.
I love to observe people and social situation.
Very interested by Asian philosophies/spiritualities... mostly the ones originated from the subcontinent.
I smoke and drink when it is needed.
I love to write and taking pictures sometimes give me joy!

PHILOSOPHY

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you

BUDDHA

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach and learn to free your mind, to appreciate living in harmony with the whole universe..

Can teach French and English..

Can definitely teach you how to cook Asian, Indian and Persian dishes if you've got enough spices and herbs around your kitchen.

I want to learn Farsi, Hindi and Japanese in the future. But let's start with Spanish.
