ABOUT ME

I am a young writer and I want to take off.

I've been a teacher in primary schools for three years in western France (Le Mans), but I've just quit my job to travel and have the time to write. Now I'm leaving in the wonderful city of Toulouse.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel, share, wonder and improvize !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I hitchhiked from Le Mans to Milan. I was a short journey (two weeks) but it changed my life and the way I see the world.

- Travelling around Europe for 4 months.

But that's still not enough, I hope the list will be longer soon !
