CURRENT MISSION

Reassuring people with this profile, proving them that I'm not a freak.

PHILOSOPHY

Do whatever you wanna do. Be unreasonable. All the degrees in the world won't make you happy. That's an anxious parents' lie.

Interests

SINGING all the freaking time. I have some intense monomaniac phases. I mean I can spend 9 weeks listening to and singing the same damn 3 songs. Right now I'm obsessed with Louis Armstrong's Didn't it rain & Rock my soul, Otis Redding's Sittin on the Dock of the Bay and... that's pretty it. That's all I wanna sing all over again. What's wrong about that ?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just seen a chicken hanging out on a traffic cone next to a building site, in the middle of the street. The thing came out of nowhere. Now I know this may not sound incredible to many of you, but I swear it pretty is in unspicy Paris...

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be more than delighted to tell you about my incredible life ^^ or French History, French literature, French best bad words, intersectionality, my deep interest in piercings (currently rocking a tragus one, craving for a serious industrial and a conch), lipsticks, kinky hair, Mexico, (lyric) singing., my two origins, DR Congo and Ethiopia... Others things for sure but you know, you never remember them when you gotta talk about them.

I would love to learn about... funny, boring, annoying, entertaining anecdotes about your culture(s)/experience/trips. Anything you wanna say as long as you say it with passion.

What I Can Share with Hosts

32-teeth smile, sparkling eyes, vibrant chats, enthusiastic attention to what you wanna say about you ^^ of course, visits in Paris which I love in spite of what I said up there ☝
