About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Educate my 2 wonderful daughters

ABOUT ME

When I was 20 years old before going to University I decided to take 1 year off to travel in South America. At the end I spent most of the time in Mexico where all people hosted me with a lot of kindness. Nothing was planned , only a good destiny guiding me to nice people.

When I came back, I hosted a lot of South American in memory of what I experimented in Mexico. I began my studies in Geneva University, then went to Beijing for 1 year to improve my Chinese. I came back and knew my husband, had 2 daughters while finishing my studies

Years passed by and I got divorced. Then I recall that I used to travel before and I began to travel again with my daughters : Morocco, Tanzania, Bolivia, Malaysia, Japan, Laos, China.

PHILOSOPHY

to be honest with oneself and with the others. try to be better while accepting my errors. Find the way of true happiness.
