About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To follow the wishes of the little clown who rides a bicycle in my head.

ABOUT ME

I am a little frenchie, born and raised in France (amazing for a french guy no?). Bordeaux, Paris, and Lyon for my studies. I've always been fascinated by the world around me, and combined with a passion for the Lego, I naturally did engineer studies (logic, isn't it? :) ). I like trying to explain what I know about the world to others.
But I don't intend to work for a big company. I started to work in the humaninarian sector as a logistician and I plan to invest myself more in the water an sanitation sector (I can talk about latrines for hours!).

I live with a strange little clown in my head who ride a bicycle. Sometimes people have impression that I'm not able to take decisions, but, in fact, I'm debating with him.

PHILOSOPHY

Ask, do, share... a good start!

As long as you continue to live new experiences, you will have new stories to tell!

Eventually not an extensive experience but nice ones, as a surfer or an host, in bilbao and in bordeaux.

Interests

Theatre, improvisation theatre, sciences in general, discovering a country by its beers, stealing trees to make a christmas tree in my kitchen

Reading books, lots of books.
