Hello everyone, i'm Mathias (or just Mat)

Living in Paris for almost 2 years, since then i spend most of my time trying to develop the NGO i work for ;) and during my free time i enjoy going to yoga classes, cinema and going out with my friends. (i used to go for skiing and climbing but i don't really take the time at that moment)
I am very passionated about community development, about politics, global & local activism and intercultural meetings.
For this year i am becoming more "tech" oriented and interested.

I am french, i really enjoy that i experienced various cities to live : Annecy, Lille, Lyon and now Paris. I also got the chance to live in New-Zealand, Romania and Brasil.
Now when i travel , i travel slow. I like to spend time in one place and i am ok for not discovering everything everywhere : getting older haha
