About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling, travelling and travelling!

ABOUT ME

I am very sociable by nature (I think). I love meeting new people, discovering new cultures and sharing good times with people. My goal is not just to visit new countries, but especially to understand how people live! I'm not a fan of "classic and turistic" tours. I want to see real life people, and share it!

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy consists in a tibetan parabol : "When two paths appear before you, choose the more difficult one. That's the one that will draw forth your best aspects ways"
