About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We want to discover the world, meet people and share culture

ABOUT ME

I am a Belgian student of 23 years old. I am finishing my studies at Brussel's Free University, in the city i am living. I can describe myself as a world citizen. I like very much to travel and i hope in a really close future work in the area of cooperation using my technique skill. In a few month (on June 2009) i will be graduated in civil engineering, and i think that my formation took part in what i think be an open-minded spirit, among other thing by projects in Africa. My family is also very mottled with a twin borther living in Canada, cousins from Congo and Palestine and even my girlfriend from Ecuador.

PHILOSOPHY

doubt of your power and you give power to your doubts...
