About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel through Europe, discover, meet and enjoy, before settling down!

ABOUT ME

I used to be quite shy, but since the last few years, I can say changed a lot in a .... good way. I just came back from a four months abroad semester in Salt Lake City (Utah, US), and I can say it transformed me. I learnt a lot about myself, and also that language is not a dealbreaker to friendship and fun you open your mind and enjoy the cultural differences. They say ''travels you made shaped the person you are’’, and I totally agree. I had a lot of fun back there and I can't wait to visit Europe to complete this learning quest!!!

Beside that touching story, I like to hangout and to discover news places, mostly those hard to reach. And I hate baseball, seriously (had to say), but any other sport, I'm in.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be selfish about your death; the only person that won't care is you.

One of my favorite personnal quote is: Don't worry about the things you can't change, start working on those you can. I think this can be a guideline in life. The best application to this one is your
personnality vs your body. Small people will always be small, but they can easily grow through their act and the person they become...

And one I heard recently, and I hope my journey in Europe will be a good example of it: There is no destination, journey is everything!

Music, Movies, and Books

The alchemist - everyone should read this book: The Journey of a young man, who is willing to loose everything he owns, to acquire all he needs; a reason to live - That's how I would describe this book. You can seriously read it 5 times and still discover new meanings for it!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hike Mount ELbert in Colorado (4404m, 14476 feet)
Did Rafting on the Arkansas River while snowing (have proof of it!)
