ABOUT ME

I was born in France in Brittany. I am doing a five-year program in Science-Po (a college of Political Science) in Strasbourg (eastern Part of France). As a part of my program, I have spent my third year as an exchange student in Syracuse University (NY). My second semester here was in DC, again with Syracuse University. I am very interested in politics, culture, cinema, music,philosophy. I want to discover more about American culture before coming back to France next semester.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone has his/her own meaning in life, that one can discover by having new experiences, meeting new people, thinking about new stuffs. What is beautiful in human nature is diversity and that is why I want to travel and meet new people.
