Description

Hi ! / Holà ! / Salut !

( The description you're reading was written last year, but be sure I'm still the same person hahaha. During that time, I created my own business and I'm now ready to go. )

I’m a young Frenchman with a head full of dreams and who, at 24 years old, has simply decided to live them instead of just thinking about them.

I was raised in the countryside, in a small village near a town in northwest France. Despite this, I’ve always surrounded myself with diversity - in terms of color, gender, wealth, education, and background - in school or outside with my friends. This is why today, I'm an open-minded person and I constantly strive to become even more.

What can I say about myself ?
I’m talkative (especially when I’m comfortable), resourceful, have a good sense of direction and initiative, I adapt myself and I learn quite quickly (through practicing).
I'm also capable of being independent, so traveling alone doesn't scare me. However, I can sometimes be a bit shy when I don’t know anyone ( and when no one speaks my language hahaha) but trust me, I don’t want to stay isolated or only be in contact with French people.

I really enjoy cooking, animals, debating and exchanging ideas about all subjects and especially learning new things (from photography to computers, and from mechanics to art …). I’m always eager to learn from others.

I love having new experiences, meeting new people, sharing, discovering, learning, trying, failing, starting over, and succeeding. To me, each experience brings and enriches us.

Some of my friends might say I’m motivated, while others might say I’m just stubborn hahaha :)

Above all, I don't want to discover a country through its tourist attractions or hotels, but through its inhabitants. I want to immerse myself in their daily life (music, cooking, arts, culture...) to step out of my comfort zone, learn more every day, and diversify all my skills.

This experience will also give me the opportunity to improve my English (and hopefully Spanish and Arabic later) and to grow as a person and enrich myself humanly all by creating unforgettable memories and connections with you.

(You can't imagine my impatience as I'm writing these lines.)

I hope to see you soon.

Personal Skills :

I consider myself a good cook and I know just as much about cooking fresh vegetables as elaborate tasty meals from the back of the cupboard but I'm always eager to try new foods, aromas, fruits, and discover your best recipes ;)

I have a love for animals and enjoy playing with them but I am a true dog lover, I have a special place in my heart for these energetic creatures and I miss my own dog greatly.

Younger, I learned to dance various styles including the tango, rock, bachata, waltz, salsa … and I would be happy to dance with you or teach you.

I have some basic IT skills ( OS / Software, hardware ( assembly / disassembly / repairing computer ) including knowledge of Microsoft Office pack and creative software such as Photoshop or CINEMA 4D and I really would love to improve them because they are a bit rusty.

Additionally, I am searching for a chess and scuba diving partner, as I have a lot of experience diving in various environments such as the Atlantic, Channel, wrecks, pools, and rock quarries … but it has been a long time now and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

I am interested in a wide variety of topics but I am particularly interested in financial independence and freedom, self-sufficiency, and alternative ways of living and consuming. These topics fascinate me enormously now.
