About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make this world brighter, happier, fairer... and travel always farer ... harder stronger better faster !

ABOUT ME

I am someone who likes to live strong experiences in my life. I tend to think that they are the only ones that make me go ahead, even if I do my best to make all my days very nice. I am a person who needs to step back sometimes from society: I'm appealed by the wild and by any form of communities challenging the regular norms of society. I try to be someone nice and helpful for people surrounding me in my life and I hope one day I will be pure enough to be proud of me.

PHILOSOPHY

doing the best I can for a maximum of people. I believe my that role is to spread love and peace around my friends and relatives, meet people to get strong human experiences and live strong moments in my life.
I think the best thing I have to do with my life is to spread and do positive things around me so that people will feel better and happier. that would be my dream to be in a career where I could be good for a large number of people.
