Frances PORTIER

Hello, my name is Francès PORTIER, I am 21 years old and I am of French nationality, native of the Philippines, native French-English, Gaming heritage.

I am confident that travel is a source of teaching, and you?

I travelled a lot, notably in Australia, Hong Kong, Macao, which allowed me to discover new horizons and different cultures.

Travelling has brought me a different view of the world, thanks to the many exchanges and encounters I have had during my travels, I have learned to be tolerant and humble through encounters where even people who have little to offer give you what they have with their hearts and smiles, and that has no price.

It has also allowed me to develop a relational ease with my interlocutors - especially on subjects that fascinate me - to be attentive, and these days when everything is fast-paced, take the time to discuss with the one another remains, I think, essential.

What am I passionate about?

New technologies, such as computers, video games or the vast world of the Internet.

Why will you ask me? Because today, they are an integral part of our lives. 20 years ago, the web had just been born, and who could believe that today, thin touch screens can make video calls, order food, order a taxi, watch movies/series, the list is still long, because it is obviously the smartphone.

What then will tomorrow's innovations be? Will we become humans 2.0? Or are we already?

It is because I have these questions and want to know the answers that I am passionate about new technologies, and I want to be at the heart of future technological revolutions.
