About Me

CURRENT MISSION

traveling, discovering, learning, meeting

ABOUT ME

After 8 years in University and 2 degrees, i got a year off to travel in Australia and New Zealand, this is how i felt in love with travels! Since then i've been working hard to be able to travel again and that's what i have done from july 2013 to july 2015 through Americas, from Alaska to Ushuaia!
In september 2016, i will be starting a new life in Zagreb, Croatia where i got a job as a french teacher in University.

I'm open minded (probably one of the best thing traveling teached me), easy going and i'm always interested to learn new things. I love spending time with my friends and family they are the most important to me..
I always have a lot of projects including traveling again and again (this time i wanna go east!!) but also trying to have a different way of life, close to the nature, far away from our society of consumption, i'd love to grow my own vegetables, have few goats and live in the country side in a log cabin off the grid ;-).
I do love hiking and especially multi-days hike when it's just you and the nature.
I just live my life the way i have chosen and i'm trying to enjoy every moment.

PHILOSOPHY

I could describe my philosophy with a few quotes:

Life is short. Live your dreams and share your passions.

Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life.

Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive anyway.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
