ABOUT ME

I am a young French-Armenian fond of life and art! I came back to Armenia four years ago, and I am now permanently living in Yerevan.
I am currently working as a freelance journalist/translator for the French-Armenian news paper "Nor Haratch".
I compose songs on guitar and write melodies for different instruments . Check it out here: soundcloud.com/achodpapasian.
I am fond of reading Armenian literature and I love to hitchhike in Armenia and meet new people and realities.
I am a very easy-going person and I can adapt to all types of crazy situations.
