CURRENT MISSION

Learning Catalan and moving to, studying in Catalunya.

ABOUT ME

Frenchman from a southern family, born and raised in Parisian region. Failed a useless B.A. of Norwegian. Looking forward to binding again to my Mediterranean roots.
Always eager to learn new things. Born a few centuries too late, but still willing to try and get the most out of this one !

PHILOSOPHY
"If a man does not know to what port he is sailing, no wind is favourable."
- Seneca

Interests

History, Antiquity, anthropology, linguistics, nutrition, weightlifting, litterature, geopolitics... I also spent a hefty time practicing historical reenactment and medieval free fight; I will probably look for a team soon again.

A sound mind in a sound body, as wrote Juvenal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left my country, my family for a completely unknown country, with no diploma, no contact, almost no money... twice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very eager to learn Catalan - it is a very close language to Occitan and French and is already very easy for me to read, but I need to write and speak it.
My knowledge of French language, culture and history is quite extensive, and I would be very happy to help with it.
Dietetics and nutrition have been one of my passion for years, and I fare pretty well as a natural weightlifter, I would always be happy to help with it.

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Hungary, Slovenia
