About Me

ABOUT ME

I graduate as a pharmacist in France (Strasbourg) and UK (London) after that I decide to start working in a french medical NGO (Phamacie et Aides Humanitaires) in Port-au-Prince (Haïti).
Then I moved back to the UK (Leeds) to gain more professional experience to be able to work for bigger NGO.
I start travelling with my backpack during my last year of high school ( 2006) first across Europe ( Ireland, UK, Nederland, Spain, Italy ) and then across the all world during my summer breaks ( Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Laos, Vietnam, India ..).
I can't stop travelling, meeting new people, encounter new ways of thinking.

"Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere"
Isabelle Eberhardt

Interests

Travelling ( of course) but i'm also a huge fan of music ( Electro, Jazz and Rap ). I love going to concerts big one (to see the few living legends remaining) but also the tinny one in the backyard a bar in the middle of nowhere.
I'm also can't live without my "daily news doses" : Euronews, TV5, Al-Jazeera, BBC World ... I really need to now what's happing on our small planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. I'm in mini bus in the way back from a monastery in the syria we are 12 in it and there is actually 11 nationalities in it ...
2. Walking in the middle of the Palmyra at 1am.
3. During a visite of a Buddhist Temple in Luang Prabang, I saw I young monk playing the same video game i was playing back in France. That can sound very silly i knwo but the picture of a boy of my age in traditional monk clothes playing WoW was very very unexpected for me. I would image speaking about VG in a buddhist temple.
4. The most beautiful smile that was ever gave to me by a young indian girl somewhere in the middle of nowhere .. Even i was speaking a single word of hindu and her a single word of english.
