About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just wanna go on more adventures. Be around good energy. Connect with people. Learn new things. Grow

Moved to Paris in October 2020

ABOUT ME

I enjoy meet new people, discover news places or cultures...and in a simple way, as naturally as possible.
I can be interested in many different things ; specially about knowing how people are living, what are their opinions etc.. I like to talk, about stupid things as much as more "serious" stuffs (world's future...arghh !!).
I'm friendly, like to laugh (most of the time !). i like to move, make party, crazy or weird places/moments/peoples.
I also need to be alone once in a while.

PHILOSOPHY

in progress...
