About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To let me surprise by life. I will come back from a long travel and I want to find a job and spend time with my friends. My personal goal is to improve the general life conditions of people by working on the new technologies.

ABOUT ME

I'm 26 years old and lives in Switzerland. I have taken a break to make a world tour after my studies to open my mind to different cultures and people. Succesfull operation even if I'm glad to be back.
Now I want to share my experiences with others and try to make them happy as I am !

PHILOSOPHY

I think that we have a great chance to live and that we have to take advantage of it and not just pass through like if it was common. So travelling, trying to change people opinions on different subject and improving the general people life level are all important.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The ascension of the Huayna Potosi summit at 6090m of altitude. Mind-blasting ! So hard, so amazingly beautiful.
Otherwise, I participated to the Sierre-Zinal swiss run in the mountains which is 31km long and have a positive denivellation of 2500m. Great run.

Teach, Learn, Share

I gave supports in mathematics and physics to different students and I definitely loved it. To teach and share his knowledges grow you up and also help. I'm also a gymnastic coach training young boys and girls from 6 to 16 years old.
What about learning? I'm like a sponge that wants to absorb knowledges and experiences like water. So I really love to learn.
