About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The World is an experiment, and i'm part of it !

ABOUT ME

From near, quite near, i've brown hair, grey eyes and i don't think the world revolves around me. I'm curious, open-minded, passionate about people, cultures & society. Music is my drug. Books are my companions. From far, very far, i'm working as a freelance journalist. Running, talking & writing all day long.

In few words : bad_singer* good_dancer* cameleon* activist* true_lover* nonsensist* daydreamer* beautiful_loser* eco_warrior*

So, if we get together, it's also a bit up to you "what kind of me" you will meet.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want to be lived by my life or by other people's expectations. I want to add something to it, not making a huge difference but taking part in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunflowers field in Croatia. Ray of light in Brussels. Fuel lamps lighting up the stalls and restaurants of the Djemâa El Fna square in Marrakech.

I prefer small things, ordinary moments that in fact are not ordinary.

A few days ago, I was sitting with my friend at Mont des Arts (Brussels). We were just sitting and talking. And I felt SO GREAT...
