About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world through art and culture. Learning with how people express themselves!
"Im in love with people i've never met and cities i've never been."

ABOUT ME

Hey Guys!

I'm from Switzerland - Nyon. It's between Geneva, the international city with many different cultures and Lausanne, calm (by day only) city with typical Swiss things to do, and one of my favourite place to go by night and party!!!
If you're planning to get there once, tell me! That would be a pleasure for me to show you the places to go!

Im the kind of person who love discover new music style or mixed style of music, you know like traditional one with electro for example. Nicolas Jaar, you know it? check it now if you don't'.
By the way i'm really interested by art. Every kind of art, from street art until painting or performing! Installations, circulations in the shops or museum, how the did to hold this or how the artist made his sculpture.
i'm curious and always asking questions about things i don't know.
I specially love architecture. History about it and how building hold. Im in love with wood as well.

I love traveling and i can't stay to long at the same place even if I'm living at nyon i have got move a lot! Take the train without destination and just discover new places.
Now i'm in Switzy for, at least, two years, back to study at the HEAD, University in Art and Design, in the design space/interiordesign department. I am at Geneva all day long and back in Nyon the night.
I was travelling two years ago around asia and california, if u need adresses and good spot, dont be sky and send me a little message ;)

Back on the road again after a long stop but not the same way of traveling! Im at Lisboa for an internship. Juste next to Cascais :)) In a wood workshop for a month. Need to learn Portuguese and meet local people overthrew so if you know good spots up to you to send me an email!

I also love cooking!!! I am fascinated about different food of the culture! In Switzerland we have cheese ahahah but i don't stay at this point so if you would like to show me your local food or if i can learn some receipt it could be perfect! Unfortunately i can't eat chili, it's too hard :((( Even i don't like fish i'd like to learn how to cook ;) Even if i dont lie chili, i agree, i fall i love with Korean food. BEST ASIAN FOOD EVER!!!!! (Topooki-simgbap-raw beef-kimchiii-rice cake-korean dessert and many more :D)

I like sport and move, don't be lazy or too lazy please ;) Take a walk in nature and discover simple things instead of watching tv at home!
I'm not maniac but i don't like when it's a mess or dirty.. I think that's my swiss' side ^^

So i'm open-minded, young and like travel to discover what i don't know :)

PHILOSOPHY

In french: "Garde le sourire quoi qu'il arrive, être positive c'est ma force de vivre"

-> "Keep smiling whatever happens, be positive because it's the strength of life! ;)"
