About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Revolutionize the world with this weapon called education

ABOUT ME

I was born and grew in Belgium. After being two years in Guatemala teaching French and primary school, I came back in Brussels to finish my teacher studies. And now, after have teached in a alternative primary school, I'm in Spain teaching French.

I'm 5/8 Belgian and 3/8 Haitian (yeah! I can explain that ;). I never been in Haiti but I want see the country of my ancestors. I think that knowing where you come from is important to know who you are.

So who I am? Waow! It's very difficult to describ yourself but if there is one word that always suited me it's... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive." [Elbert Hubbard]
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." [Dr. Seuss]

I surf, I host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived some memorable experiences but I will always remember my first CS experience. Scott hosted me at Miami. And, with some of his friends and other CSers, We decided in the spur of the moment to rent a car and go past the weekend at Key West. To briefly summarize this adventure : a BBQ on a beach with the sunset, "some" bar hopping and a night at seven in a double room in a romantic pension ;)
