Overview
About Me
I'm an young civil engineer from Normandy in France and I spent my last year overseas living a new experience across the world.
After spending 9 months in Montreal (Canada) for my last year of study, I took the decision to travel one year with a Working Holiday Visa in a country I have always wanted to visit, New Zealand.
What I wanted to do was to travel around the whole country (North and South Island), improve my English skills and discover the NZ culture and way of life. For that, I think the best way is to live with the local people for a few days.
It was an amazing experience, I met many people from different countries of the world and I discover maybe the most beatiful country on Earth !
I left the country in July and on my way back to France, I travelled on the East Coast of Australia for 3 weeks, then 2 weeks inThailand and a weekend in Dubai.
Now I work in a bank as programming engineer close to Paris.
I hope to see you soon !!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once, in a very cold january (-10°C) in a small town of Canada, I and some Canadian friends decided to go outside into a jacuzzi. All around us were coved by snow. After a few minutes, one of my friends challenged me to roll around the snow with just a swinsuit. I hesitated a few seconds but I accepted the challenge. Walking on the snowy ground without shoes, rolling around the snow and coming back to the jacuzzi were the worst experience of my life, it seemed to last an eternity ^^ My skin turned blue after a few seconds and I didn't fell so good after that....
But it's worth it and I will never forget this cold walk !!
