My parents moved all over the world as I've been growing up because of my father's job. I'm born in Egypt, then moved to Amsterdam, then to Paris (where my family's from), then Houston in Texas, then back to Paris, then Kazakhstan, then the US again (did my bachelor's in Indiana), then Grenoble in France (where I did my masters), and I now reside in Paris again.

So I've pretty much travelled my entire life, I've grown up with airplanes and buses and my life fits in a backpack/suitcase

Interests

Having grown up all around the world, I've had friends from all sorts of backgrounds and who have all sorts of interests. So I pretty much love to talk about anything. The only thing I don't like is talking about/doing the same thing for too long. I fucking hate when my life revolves around a routine for too long.

Music, Movies, and Books

I historically listen to rock (which is what got me to start playing the guitar back in high school, close to a decade ago). It's since moved to rap/hip hop and electronic based music.

I don't watch very many movies, so the ones I'll cite are probably super mainstream to a cinephile:
- Le diner de con
- Le prenom
- a ton of other classic french comedies (les ripoux, les bonzés, les visiteurs etc)
- Lord of the rings (order of pref: fellowship > return of the king > 2 towers)
- Gladiator
- The Hurricane

As for book, I mainly read non fiction. So anything about science, history, or philisophy. The 3 last books I've read were:
- L'étonnement philosophique (jeanne hersch, a book tracing the history of western philosophy)
- À la poursuite des ondes gravitationnelles (pierre binétruy, my uncle's book about gravitational waves)
- Discrete Mathematics and Functional Programming (Thomas VanDrunen)

Special mention: Bel Ami by Guy de Maupassant (french literature. fucking awesome though, badass book)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

played golf around campus at school in kazakhstan. Our school had this really nice campus with a few hectars of grass (there was an apple orchard, a football field, and just a bunch of grass everywhere). We were seniors in high school and my friend was really into golfing. So he would bring his golf bag to school, and we made our little golf course with a few holes.

I took the school's principal a whole month to come let us know that 'maybe this wasn't safe'. So we ended turning the school's basketball field into a driving range. Fun times haha.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Egypt, France, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, United States
