CURRENT MISSION

Build a better world

ABOUT ME

I always wanted to go far, a long time to understand a new culture, overhaul the routine of my country. Time has come ; here I am, in Vancouver for 1 year, from March to December.
I'll work here in North Vancouver in an Engineering firm during this time.

Before that, I spent my childhood in french countryside then a few years in Lyon (FRA), and then my university in Switzerland (5 yrs).

I try to make life as fun as possible for me and everyone I could.
I enjoy many things on this planet, from sport to culture, from politics to science. But most of all, I love travelling, meeting new cultures and seeing new horizons. What always make me shiver: watching the world go by, seeing as far as possible on the sea side or up the mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

Think right but act, and quick : 21.12.2012 is coming soon !

"L'esprit qui se forme mûrit lentement et silencieusement jusqu'à sa nouvelle figure, désintègre fragment par fragment l'édifice de son monde précédent ; l'ébranlement de ce monde est seulement indiqué par des symptômes sporadiques ; la frivolité et l'ennui qui envahissent ce qui subsiste encore, le pressentiment vague d'un inconnu sont les signes annonciateurs de quelque chose d'autre qui est en marche. Cet émiettement continu qui n'altérait pas la physionomie du tout est brusquement interrompu par le lever du soleil, qui, dans un éclair, dessine en une fois la forme du nouveau monde." (Hegel, La Phénoménologie de l'esprit)
