About Me

I live in Brittany, west of France, a happy place for whom is found of water-related activities : sailing, surfing, fishing, ... anything you want to enjoy by the sea is to be reach.

I work within an "enterprise incubator" to help high-tech companies and startups thrive with their projects. That a highly rewarding job where I learn every single day on the digital applications and businesses.

I believe to be a very social person, and loquacious when it comes to talk about my favourite subjects: sailing and watersports of all kind, photography, sketching, ... and cooking practice!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best memory remains a long and wet crossing from Brittany (and return) to the Azores by boat: living with the sun, no land in sight, reading a book per day, discovering a new wildlife... and living challenging moments with family.

For a while, most of my travels were about sailing within Europe (Spain, Ireland, Greece, Açores, ...). In 2012, I took a year off to travel with the project to meet and reconnect with my school alumni expatriated worldwide. A travel that led me to the US, Central and Latin America, Oceania and Asia. Since then, I won't spend a year without any travel far away from home...

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach: windsurfing and sailing wherever equipment and water available (I am windsurfing instructor), computer supported creation (Photoshop, video-making, website creation, etc.), French cuisine and making crêpes!
I am always willing to learn whatever you offer... actually I am rather curious!
