About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet, learn, share and be helpful

ABOUT ME

I'm french and I study International Relations. I've been living in Brazil since 2011. I'm curious about a lot of things and I try to understand the world I'm living in. I'm always willing to discover new things and learn from others. I like the change of scenery and I easily get bored with routine. I'm a simple and adaptable person. I don't like big parties and I rather enjoy a good conversation with a coffee or a beer in a cozy place!

After my studies I would like to make a journey in South America. Take time for my personal development, learn from others, gain new skills, and know better this continent, its people, history and culture.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is precious, time is short.
I try to live the present moment, to be useful to other people and to help them the way I can.
