About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have adventure anywhere in the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a dog lover. I wanted to be a veterinary but ended up to be a computer scientist. I worked at a French company, Oberthur Technologies, a smart card company, as a Software Engineer. After my resignation, I moved to a smart card competitor as a Product Manager. Not two years later, I quit my job and decided to be a nomad, to be uprooted, to get lost in this big world. I love (extreme) sports and I love (outdoor) adventures. I spend all my money on traveling. I'm a fitness enthusiast. I workout in a gym 4 times a week and do swimming once a week. Sometimes I do climbing as well. In 2015, I turned vegetarian. I've spent my last 14 years in marching band unit. I've been on 3 different marching band units and had participated in a lot of national competitions. In 2016 I went to Australia and then in 2017 to New Zealand to find a (part-time) job. I previously worked on a 30-feet yacht in Auckland, New Zealand. Now, I want to be a writer and a translator/interpreter.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep calm and travel on
