About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world, Meet new people, Learn from other ways of thinking or other cultures

ABOUT ME

What I love about life is that you are always in a process of learning. I like reading, traveling, and above all speaking with people. There's a million ways of opening up your mind and challenging what you always consider as certain.

I'm quite open minded and ready to have great debates with others. I like to stay in touch with a lot of people.

I've developed a strong passion for the Asian cultures and especially China, as I've been learning Mandarin for a few years. I went there on my own and only got more and more fascinated.

I really love traveling and discovering the world. As lame as this sentence can seem, it's actually quite true. My only regret is that a lifetime isn't enough for that.

I enjoy life as it comes, and take every good thing that it offers. I discover how unpleasant stressing about life was, ans how when you really want to do something, there is always a way to achieve it.

Finally I value family and friendship, and doesn't believe in loneliness as the best way of growing up. Once in a while I enjoy time by myself but only others can really help you change or getting better.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift though it's not always that obvious, we have the means to orientate it the way we wish to. There is no need to take everything for granted, life is made of changement and new discoveries. What can seem awful one day will be seen differentely the other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My travel to China was an amazing experience, as well as a lot of places I've been too!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really curious about life, about people. From my previous travels or experiences I can bring something to people. I don't claim to have the age to know everything but I do have some foods for thoughts to debate on...
I can teach some really good crumbles and cookies recipes as well!!
