About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Don't wake up one day with too much regrets

ABOUT ME

I'm a french guy living in Bucharest since november 08. Used to travel a lot, like to meet new people and learn about their countries/places. Give always idea about next trip. Like to speak of course about travel experiences but also about sports, music or geopolitical topics.

PHILOSOPHY

"One can not travel to flee, something impossible, but to find himself". (Jean Grenier)
"Ya running and ya running,
But ya can't run away from yourself" (Bob Marley)
As a consequence, I try to be a nice person according to my own values of course.
