CURRENT MISSION
Happiness is real only when shared!
ABOUT ME
After a seven months world tour, I've settled in New-Zealand since early 2014, working and living in West Auckland until my company asked me to move again to Dublin in July. My itinerary was
- three months in the US
- one month in Canada
- one month in the Philippines
- one month in Indonesia
- and finally New Zealand
Curiosity is to my mind my best quality, since I love meeting new people from all around the world, sharing their lifestyles, and discovering the natural wonders by hiking or riding my bike.
PHILOSOPHY
Pour reussir dans le monde, retenez bien ces trois maximes : voir, c'est savoir ; vouloir, c'est pouvoir ; oser, c'est avoir
To succeed in the world, keep in mind these three motto: view is knowledge, will is ability, daring is getting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I joined a few CS night events when I was living in Paris where I met amazing people... a real breath of fresh air to sometimes escape the bobo and arrogant Parisian mindset... ;P
I also surfed in SLC and met a very kind couple!

Music, Movies, and Books
- Classical music (Beethoven, Haendel and Vivaldi are my favourite composers) And if I have to choose two pieces from each composer:
Vivaldi: Nisi Dominus and Sonata Op. 1 N°12 "La Follia"
Haendel: Lascia ch'io pianga from the Opera Rinaldo and the Saraband
Beethoven: Symphony N°7 and Piano Concerto N°5
- Fond of movies provided the bo is good, which comes to:
Barry Lindon
The Last of the Mohicans
The Piano
and more recently Les Miserables
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A one year world tour...which remains incomplete since I have found an interesting job during it. I will fulfill it for sure, it's only a matter of time. Traveling is now a hard drug, how could it be otherwise, I was moved to the depths of my soul by the natural wonders of this world and the infinite goodness of some people I met.
