Travelling I love to travel and meet people everywhere I go. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to be able to travel cheaply or for free and it feels like I grew up through the different places and people. I met and lived with amazing people, with whom I remained in contact and through whom I could reach personal but also professional achievements. The most life-changing travels I have made were to Turkey and to Oregon, USA. I also travelled to California, Japan, England, Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. The most intense and challenging experience for me is the culture shock when I return home. I hope I'll never stop :)	Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, 2009.
Photography I enjoy photography as a hobby, at home or when travelling. I started with point-and-shoot cameras and I then learned to use and master Manual modes on a Cybershot DSC-HX1 (fixed-lens "bridge" camera). I intend to swich to a DSLR reflex camera soon. The more I learn about it, the more I pay attention to composition and techniques; though I still mostly shoot instinctively, when I like what I see!	Beach near Yachats, Oregon Coast, 2008.
Wildlife and hiking My favourite travels involve lots of wild outdoors. I love to hike and be close to wildlife, though ironically I have always lived in very big cities. So even far from outdoors, I exercise and walk several miles everyday. I live on a vegetarian diet and try to live my life in an energy-efficient, ecology-sensitive way. I am not a member of any ecology group; I am however proactive at sharing the positive impact of that kind of way of life with people and I am supporting productive initiatives. I see ecology as wildlife consciousness and business creativity.	Ground Squirrel, along Pacific Highway 1, California, 2010.
Computing and pop culture I started using a computer at a very early age (a CPC464 at the age of 5). I quickly learned to use its environment by myself, such as Basic 2.0 programming. I learned to use a Mac Classic II some years later, and started creating RPG Games with an Hypercard program as a hobby. This taught me the basics of English at a very early age because no programs or video games were translated into French at the time. This also taught me very early to understand and adapt to new technologies in general. Overall, it got me familiarized with new ways of communication and it kept me updated with pop culture through new media such as the internet. I believe in a citizen-owned cyberspace providing free tools for artistic expression and broadcasting people initiatives.	Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, Japan, 2007.
