Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel in the US, discover the country and its people.
ABOUT ME
I'm a french exchange student for one year in the US, here to discover anything about this country ! I like to wander in cultural places and anywhere in the cities, taking pictures and discover new and unusual places. I enjoy meeting new people, talking with them about our countries. I like relaxing in a restaurant or having a walk in new cities as much as I like to know its inhabitants better by partying with them.
PHILOSOPHY
One of my friend once told me : "You can only regret what you haven't done." I like to tell people not to spend all their time on work or studies. I tell them to study and live too, even if you have to be exhausted because exhaustion is better than idleness. I want to believe in unconditional friendship, no matter one's character and personality. I like thinking of us as fanciful and wild people unafraid to be out of the borders, and out of the bounds, each of us being different. I also believe in happiness and wonders.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was once on a high stage in Lille (France), by night, under the cold rain, in front of thousands of people, with a lot of make-up and dressed in a costume designed by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac with one hundred other models and the strange music of an electronic french band. The show was called "Fantômes" ("Ghosts").
