À propos de moi

CURRENT MISSION

Keeping the slow travel mindset, I started an overland trip from Singapore to Portugal in 2015, whenever I decide I resume it from the last location I've been: I made it to Northeast India so far.

Trying to make sense of the world around me without worrying so much. :)

ABOUT ME

I've been traveling on and off for some years, set base in incredible places, met countless amazing people and got hooked to the state of traveling.

I'm easy going, chilled and open minded. I love music as much as silence, trying new food, learning about this world and the people in it.

PHILOSOPHY

Be conscious. Stay curious. Practice good. Do more.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I came to realise I cannot live without music. From classical to rock, jazz, blues, bossa nova and some electronic, I like most of it depending on the situation and mood. Silence is great but generally life is better with music.

I tend to be picky with movies and tv shows, I often neglect them while traveling so it's likely I'm not up to date with the trends. In any case I love a good movie night and in the end all depends on the mood and the company.

Books I don't keep track, I borrow them, I read them and I pass them along... Usually 2 or 3 at a time! The hardest part is to finish them. 🙊

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you some musical instruments, graphic design, web development, scuba diving, freediving, boxing, meditation, and many other things! I'm happy to share about any of the cultures I've came across so far, we can hang out together, go out for sunset (or sunrise), coffee, drinks or just chill in the couch like a potato.
