About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the most of life's unsettling paradoxes

ABOUT ME

Impulsive, hyperactive, curious, likes to connect. Poly.

I grew up and studied in Paris and around, lived in Dublin, moved back to Paris, lived in Brisbane, moved back to France again...

Now based in Paris, traveling a lot for work (India and Philippines recently). Trying to extend my circle of acquaintances, seeking partners-in-crime to make Paris life fun and creative.

PHILOSOPHY

There's always something more to understand and to achieve. And life rocks!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People always amaze me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Most importantly, I'm really fascinated by how people look at life, what's the routine and customs where they're from, their dreams... A huge thanks to all the couchsurfers who have shared this with me :)

Can teach french, maths, excel & VBA, story of the ancient near east from the neolithic to Alexander the Great, show around a couple of museums in Paris
