About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore my surroundings...

ABOUT ME

I love travelling, I love being immerge in a new adventure. When i was young, my father often bougth meat the port to watch the cargo vessels. I was so impress by them. At 18, I want to the maritime school with the project to explore the world. I sailed in Europe, in the carribean, in south america and I even sailed in the polar circle north of Canada. But now, sailing is over for me. I need more stability in my life, but i still have this appetite for exploring new place. I like to to be in a new place with new people to meet. Exchanging with new culture open your horizon.

PHILOSOPHY

Appeciate every little things in life. Even the simpliest!
