About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a balance in my life :)

ABOUT ME

I am a French national, with English and German roots, currently citizen of the world. I have been travelling all around the world for the last 10 years, I do not think it is over, and I still enjoy meeting people and learning about other cultures and places! I am a nice and funny guy, who likes going out with friends, partying, listening to music (reggae, rock, folk, hip hop, drums, jungle... name it!) and read a good book. Discovering the world each day a bit more remains one of my priority though and CS seems to be just like that.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem, maybe a bit cheesy but so true.

Interests

I like music, reading, writing, playing Ultimate Frisbee, discussing all and nothing, travelling obviously and least but not last I love Turkey and Istanbul. This city rules, and trust my experience!
