ABOUT ME

I have been travelling around for work and pleasure for the past 8 years in Europe and lately in SE Asia where i spent 9 months backpacking.
I have always a travel project in my head, but this can also be to go the very next street from where i leave, just to discover the neighbourhood.
I love arts, music, theater so i like leaving in Paris. But as soon as i can i need to escape and go in countryside to hike, bike, climb and if at sea dive, sail... So an equilibrium between intense city activity and profound nature evasion.

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day.
Hapiness is only read when shared.
