About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience...

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Paris and I love this city. But from now and then, I need to get away from it! I spent some time in Italy and two years in the San Francisco Bay Area while studying at Berkeley. And now is the time to go back to travelling again. So I am on this four month trip in South America, from Santiago to Buenos Aires, passing by La Paz, Cuzco, Quito, Manaus, Rio...

In France, I work as a project manager for the french electricity company. I'd say that I'm a curious and open minded person, passioned about cinema and traveling... I'm quite laid back and enjoy partying as well as philosophical conversations!

PHILOSOPHY

Be true and tolerant!
