About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, improve my English, help, being helped...

ABOUT ME

I like meeting new people and learning new things, this is how I try to make life spicy. But also running, crossfit, mountain biking and back-country skiing.
All our favorite activities depend a lot on weather and season, but I think we can define ourselves quite well by the things we do for fun. I'm also interested in cooking and all sorts of handcrafts...
At the moment I'm definitely a crossfit buff, because it's fun and addictive !

PHILOSOPHY

Atheist, Respecful, open minded (I hope) and trying to be happy enough to make people around me happy enough
