About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience other ways of living, to talk to anyone and everyone, and to gain knowledge only acquired through travelling

ABOUT ME

I'm curious, adventurous, and passionate. I enjoy learning about different cultures and talking about world affairs. But I also like to just meet new people and have a good time. My interests are wide-ranging and I'm up to experiencing new things.

Je suis curieuse, adventureuse, et passionée. J’aime bien apprendre des cultures differentes et discuter les affaires étrangères. Mais, j’aime aussi rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et m’amuser. Mes intérêts sont variés et j’aime essayer de nouvelles choses.

PHILOSOPHY

I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
Ettiene De Grellet

Je ne passerai par ce monde qu'une seule fois. Toute bonne chose que je peux dès lors faire ou toute gentillesse que je peux démontrer à tout être humain, je dois le faire maintenant. Je ne dois pas différer ou négliger cela, car je ne passerai plus par ce chemin.
Etienne de Grellet
