About Me
CURRENT MISSION
trying to lower my impact on the World while enjoying its countless and incredible secrets at their best
ABOUT ME
Enthusiastic and dynamic, I caught the globe trotter syndrome in India, in 2009. Since then, I vowed to take advantage of every single minute in my life to live, meet, discover, learn, enjoy, taste, try, have fun, laugh, love...
PHILOSOPHY
be happy, be free, carpe diem.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Decided on a whim to run a marathon just the week before the said marathon. Bought the ticket from a last minute injured man, have eaten pastas for the whole week, went to a party till 5 in the morning the day before, and was still able to finish it in a reasonable time without any injury. Best way ever to reboost your self confidence when you are at the lowest!
Still on a whim, decided to go traveling with a guy I just met at a party, to a random destination that Skyscanner would decide for us (it happened to be Iran). The very evening we had our plane tickets, and one week later we landed there. Amazing life experience, felt like Yes Man on that day!
Teach, Learn, Share
There is so much I would like to learn ! New languages, new music instrument, dances, songs, culture !! I could teach you french, or even help you with math or physics, but what I would most like to share is exhilaration and adventure spirit !
