CURRENT MISSION

To meet people from various backgrounds, experience/share unforgettable moments and travel (get lost?) as long as my feet support my upper body.

ABOUT ME

I've been told that I'm outgoing, (too?)open-minded, sociable and apparently always travelling. After so many years outside France and after meeting XXXXXX people from all over the world I see myself as a world citizen. I have also the loudest laughter on earth according to some of my friends...

PHILOSOPHY

Made a mistake? Learn from it...turn it into something positive. Also I believe life's a hurdles race. Don't look too much at the past because you'll eventually miss the next hurdle.

To finish one saying from Guadeloupe: "On min ka lave lot" which means one hand washes the other. In other words we all need each other!
