About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Japanese Working Holiday VISA 2016.
ABOUT ME
If I was writing this in French, It'd be funnier. I apologize in advance for the boring time downhere :
I'm not the one who comes and screams "HELLO I'M HERE LOOK AT ME!". I like to talk at length, listen to the others, observe first. I can be cold, pretty shy, respectful, with a lot of empathy. I'm patient usually when it comes to humans. I love costumes party by the way.
I'm easy to live, i love to try new dishes from any culture. Not vegetarian at all, but like to be with vegetarians, eating good natural stuff... I'm not a good cooker neither, but I try to give a hand. I worked on my desserts last year though !
And i don't smoke, I love sport too much for that. Well I don't know how to swallow smoke properly actually ! But on this point too, i'm open !
PHILOSOPHY
"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."
Alan Cohen
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Marc Twain
"Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." NYC subway.

Interests
Nature, animals, politic or sciences.
Sports like soccer, swimming, running or cycling.
And video games, computers and technologies. My geek side.
I like to read and watch things about lost cilizations, quantum physics or UFOs. I dont know why, maybe because I dont understand anything about it, but I feel smarter afterwards.
