About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be myself, live a fulfilling life

ABOUT ME

French with Brazilian origin, lived 5 years in Japan, 1 in Brazil, my wife is Japanese and loves Brazil.
So I'm kind of from 3 countries: France, Japan & Brazil...
Travelled quite a lot in my 20's, less now, but still very much international oriented.
Social, love dancing, like history, nature, birds.
I'm positive, honest, open-minded, but quite down-to-earth. I like to adapt to the people I meet, it's as if it was a challenge.

PHILOSOPHY

be well in my shoes to connect with and help people around me. do something for this world through my work (from now on at least!)
