CURRENT MISSION

Get a couch and destroy my ignorance of other cultures

ABOUT ME

I have just finished my degrees and all I can say is that I want to go out there and travel before I start the next stage. I'd like to start getting my doctorate in Economics next year so I think the best thing for now is to run around and get into as much new stuff as I can. I love reading, writing and music both as a consumer and as a practitioner. Although I can be reserved and shy I enjoy being around people a lot and I can be pretty loud with my friends. I am someone who wants to explore, learn, and laugh his ass off at least a lot of the time.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open and be patient.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

My first kiss and writing my first working piece of computer code. Seeing severe poverty in India left a mark on me too.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am talented at my studies and I love applying them to my everyday life. Perhaps I could offer a new perspective on societal and cultural changes...or just a good talk! I can program at an intermediate level in Java and Python. I also love writing short stories. As far as learning goes, I am always hungry.
