Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm living in London now and about go travel around the U.S. while visiting friends, possibly doing some couchsurfing until I choose a place to stop. We'll see, that's the initial plan.
ABOUT ME
I'm a cool and easy-going international kind of guy, I was born in New York, then moved to France when I was 6, grew up in Paris and have been living in London for over 7 years until I recently decided to pretty much drop everything and go travel for a while in Southeast Asia. I lived in Singapore for a couple of years and then moved back to Europe, first living in the South of France (that was in 2015, the last time I verified my address with Couchsurfing) and then back in London.
I'm bilingual in French and English, not bad with Spanish though I understand it better than I speak.
I work in advertising and marketing, specialised on the digital side. I've always loved surfing the net, finding out about new geeky technology stuff as well as meeting varied people through social media / networking events. I've made great friends like that in London and around the world.
I love traveling, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and eating local food.
PHILOSOPHY
What goes around, comes around.

Music, Movies, and Books
Once upon a Time in America, A Song of Ice and Fire, Star Wars, Brett Easton Ellis, Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, Terry Pratchett, and many more movies and books. I love all sorts of movies, I'm pretty easy with that and have pretty large DVD collection (currently enjoyed by my good friend Adam while I am away).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Giving away footballs to children in Tanzania.
Walking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
Traveling the world in 2 weeks.
Teach, Learn, Share
As I said earlier, I'm native in both English and French, I'm glad to share the languages with anyone interested in learning.
My job in the past few years has given me a good level of knowledge for professional communication, marketing, advertising, and particularly anything to do with Internet and new technologies. I'm always glad to chat about that and I've already helped other people to either simply find out more about the topic, or sometimes help with promoting their own business
