About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To paraglide some of the most beautiful spots in Europe
ABOUT ME
I have always enjoyed traveling, you could say it was bred in to me. My father is from an island called Mauritius, but he's basically French. Ever since I can remember, my family has been on the go. I am currently finishing my last term of school in Sweden. Once I am done here I'll be hopefully moving to France for a while to learn the language and spend some time with my relatives. I am very interested in using everything I have learned from school to benefit a developing country; this dream hasn't really solidified yet.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that everyone has intrinsic value. I believe that humans care about equality and the rights of other humans because it was put in to us by an intelligent creator. It only seems natural that intelligence follows intellect. I am by no means a religious fanatic, but I do believe that Jesus Christ was more than just a good teacher.
