CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm 24 y.old, I just finished my engineering studies in Lille and Paris, and have been working for 2 years in Singapore.
I've been able to host a few travelers and CSers there, and taken part in many activities in the Singapore CS group.

I like to meet new people from all over the world, discuss, to know things about their country

I've been a scout for several years, scouting gave (and still gives) me opportunities to meet a looot of people, to travel, to have good moments among friends, to take part in eco-friendly and socio-developping activities (err, i hope it's understandable).

I practice handball and tennis, and more occasionally, I ski and dive. I've learnt how to juggle and others circus things. I met great people and jugglers friends in Singapore, with whom we took part in the famous Chingay Parade (for CNY in Singapore), and in the less famous but also very very good Philippines Flow Fest, among others.

I like eating.
I like spending time with friends.

Thanks to my studies I have been given several opportunities to travel (in Asia). It makes me want to travel even more, because you always meet nice people, and because you always hear travellers, CSers, backpackers, saying "yeaaa you definetely have to go there"!
But overall, the most interesting are the encounters with local people, that's why I particularly like to travel with a few persons (in small small group)

I don't like to get into trouble, I think I'm easy to live with ('ve already been told that, so I hope it's true), I'm curious and consider myself as open-minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep cool, always look on the bright side of life, don't worry be happy, ce qui ne nous tue pas nous rend plus fort), Carpe Diem and Cave Canem.
Be yourself

Be honest, on ne recolte que ce que l'on seme
