About Me

Hello! I have travelled quite a lot and lived abroad especially in Asia, mostly in China, Taiwan and Japan. Anyone from these three countries would be especially welcome, particularly if you don't mind to help me improve in Chinese and Japanese. It would also be nice to improve my French. I am interested in current affairs and enjoy talking about these kind of things, I have practised yoga for a long time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled around India for six months when I was 19-20 years old and came back overland through Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey and Greece. Actually, I never considered it particularly amazing, I thought everyone did this!!
