About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seing as much as I can from the world

ABOUT ME

I am 25, french, enjoying student life and family shelter to travel. Ever since I have started traveling, I have not been able to stop. I am not suffering from this addiction yet (only boyfriends usually are). After 3 months in a Canada in my teens, I first left France for a one year experience as an exchange student in College of Charleston, S.C. Just loved it... After that I became a TA for French for another year in Clark University, MA. Then, I was ready for a change and decided to go East. I lived one year in Bulgaria (as an intern in Alliance Francaise).
I have tried to keep on studying along all these years bc let's face it: it looks better on the resume.
Aside from that, I highly value true relationships, such as family and good friends, and also genuine encounters, no matter how temporary they may be.
I am simply curious of things that are differents and new to me, and love the feeling of adventure and the "unstability" (?!) when discovering.

PHILOSOPHY

We have only one life! Smiling and being enthousiastic about what we don'tknow is the best key to happiness.

Teach, Learn, Share

Who am I to be Teaching someone something? Teaching, learning, I would not call what happends btw two people that way. I'd rather say: by exchanging ideas, way of living and past experiences, both people in an interaction progress in their understanding of others, of the world and of themselves.
