CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my trip in Japan

ABOUT ME

Hi !I am a 22yo french science/engineering student. I was born in Paris and have been studied there so far. I love to travel and go travelling each year with my friends or alone in a different country. I think I am really keen on travelling thanks to my parents who brought me in trips each year when I was a kid.
I like hiking in open spaces, probably because I have always lived in a big city (Paris) and I sometimes need to escape from big towns.
I went to live and work 5 months in Norway and 8 months in Australia.
New people, new kinds of landscapes to discover is all I need. I am now a PhD student in experimental particle physics.

I think I am more in "reflexion" than in "action". I am really easy going, quite used to living cheaply (wild camping, ...) when it is necessary. I like meeting new people and partying. My favourite drink is definitely a good pale ale. I also play guitar and bass guitar, especially blues and jazz music. I also have a didjeridoo :). Anyway, feel free to contact me if you want any information about a destination I went or about France and especially Paris!

PHILOSOPHY

Do not try to change mankind, just accept it and like it like it is.
