About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Build my house as ecological as possible...leave my work as engineer for ever...

ABOUT ME

hum...to make short.
I have been working as engineer until 2010, then I create in 2011 with friends and family an NGO to support a school in Gossas (Senegal).
I'm working now as classical singer in choirs and as engineer.

PHILOSOPHY

I had a normal life. A good job, a nice flat, a car, friends...And then I notice, that I don't want this life, I just want to realise my dreams, and I only have one life for it...so I left for travelling, first to Canada, USA, and then Senegal.
I start afterward to study classical singing. Next step is to build my little woodhouse with an organic garden in the country side of my region.
