I am currently travelling in Central Asia.
I was in Uzbekistan for almost 3 months where I realized a documentary on the Aral Sea with my friend Saxon.

I am now in Kyrgyzstan where I would love the opportunity to meet local people, learn about Kyrgyz culture and share unique experiences.

I am learning Russian :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting my comfortable job in Paris during the Covid-19 pandemic:
I was working both at my job and on documentary-filmmaking project with my good mate Saxon when I had free time. One day, I decided to quit my job and devote myself 100% on the project and flew to Uzbekistan to realize it.
Whenever I am feeling too comfortable and the routine is too present, this is the alert to make changes :)

Changing my destination 1 hour before the plane takes off:
I was supposed to go back to France. Arrived at the airport, I was thinking of what I really want to do and I changed my destination just before the check-in. Memo to myself: last minute flight's change is costly haha

Another amazing thing I've done, join Couchsurfing :)
