One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 16 for Christmas, though living and studying in Chicago, I went for 2 weeks internship in Hong Kong in an agency of marketing. There alone, in an absolute unknown country, I have spent the most happiest weeks of my life. I understood that I would like to spend all my life discovering cultures and learning languages to be able communicating with people of diverse nationalities.
Teach, Learn, Share
I learn several languages (Chinese, German, Italian, English) and the objectif is for sure to be able to understand others sharing me their cultures and others understanding me sharing my culture.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I’d love to share the history of my city, the streets, the garden, monuments, but also the amazing countryside we have in that part of France. And for sure, the human experience is before all what motives me to share my home.
