After having travelled and volunteer around Asia for a year, I just setteled back in Paris, working as international officer for a non formal education NGO.

ABOUT ME

I was raised between a little town in the middle of France and Paris, having he chance to see different environment and people. Since then, i have been very keen on meeting new people, discovering new cultures, learning from others, this is why I went to live in Turkey and Lithuania and host many foreigners (or not) in France.
I'm also a youth activist,and was involved for 10 years in volunteering, non formal education and intercultural dialogue, including 3 as a paid staff.
I would say i'm a curious, smiling, and sociable person that love to laugh and enjoy simple moments with friends and new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"no risk no fun no learning"
"travelling, volunteering and meeting others are the best school"
