Overview
About Me
Hi everyone ! I grew up in a bilingual family (my mother is german and my father is french) and we used to move every couple of years, which maybe explains why I can't stay at the same place for more than two years... I love to travel and I never leave without my little travel book, in wich I draw all I can see around me. Art is very important in my life, I could not live without. You can see some of my paintings on this little blog I created: https://popscreations.wordpress.com/blog/.
I am also very interested in history and philosophy, and of course politics, which I study. I think that all these subjects are connected and it is important to me to know in wich world I live and to try to understand it. An other way to know our world a bit better is, in my opinion, to learn new languages. To me, every language opens a new door, a new perspective on life. That is why I try to learn a bit of Chinese, Italian and Russian. I'm still not very good but I'm working on it. I also try to learn how to play the guitare (with youtube, the best teacher ever...), because I love to sing the typical campfire songs with my friends (Aux champs élysées, Aïcha, Wind of change, knocking on heavens door, Halleluja, House of the rising sun, je l'aime à mourir, and so much more...).
As a typical french (OK, just half...), I love good food and good wine. I cook a lot and last semester I took oenology lessons, which I really enjoyed.
As you see, I have lots of different interests and there is still a whole list of things I want to learn or to experience. And the good thing is: I still have a whole life to do it !!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In the two cities I study (Lille, north of France and Münster, north-west of Germany), I have hidden tiny glass bottles with some quotes of my favorite writers or philosophers, my favorite poems or a little drawing. My hope is that one day someone will find it, and maybe he had a bad day and this finding will boost his morale, give him a new inspiration or just make him think. I feel like sometimes we are to much into our daily routine ( in french we say "métro, boulot, dodo"). We don't take the time to think about what really matters. My conclusion: we need to spread more art and philosophy in this world !
