Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Look at the world from different perspectives, from different cultures
ABOUT ME
Where could I start if I don't even completely know who I am...? This is already tricky question.
Well, I could also take an entire day to describe myself, but you would get bored after 30 seconds and then go see another profile...
I like meeting new people, new horizons and new culture, but also taking time for myself when I can isolate myself! Paradoxal right? But this is what travelling allows: you can do both.
I'm in my last year of studies at university and I felt I needed to do something big before "allowing" myself to enter the world of routine/job :P.
Apart from that, I was really into high level mountain biking competition before, my favorite color is blue, I have a cat called Moustique, and I like pubs, I really do... but that... you don't really care right :P!
PHILOSOPHY
I don't know who I am, but I know what I am not. Life will do the rest

Cave diving in the Yasawas Islands, Fiji
Skiing in the Alps
Mountain biking in Portugal
Teach, Learn, Share
The things I could teach are unusual. I could show you how to ride a mountain bike down a mountain at 50 km/h, how to cook french canadian omelettes or to study the less while getting the best possible results. But would you really have the time or the will to do it :P?
More seriously, I like to share my experiences, learn about things I didn't know that existed, or improve myself by seeing the differences and similarities of others. I also like to get into discussions about modern society and philosophy!
