About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the most of each moment, especially in new places.

ABOUT ME

Life is all about experiences, I love meeting new people, I tend to get along with everyone, but most of all I like to try new things and live unique moments. And having FUN, of course! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem and carpe noctum! And I love nature but also love the city... Love hiking and clubbing both, staying out all night or relaxing with tea and a blanket.

Interests

I'm studying French and English Literature with a minor in Art History and Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies right now at Franklin College in Switzerland, and I'm trying to learn Italian. What grabs my attention and makes life engaging? So many things... good food, good people, good places... true and interesting conversations... learning life stories and making life stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Chocolat!! Afternoons with Marguerite. Pride and Prejudice.
Books: Anything by Henry James, Edith Wharton, Virginia Woolf, Francoise Sagan, Marguerite Duras, Herman Hesse, Samuel Beckett. I like The Bell Jar and Emerson's Self-Reliance, also The Secret Life of Bees.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise over Provence. Seeing lighting from a distance. Running barefoot on the beach with new friends made across language barriers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak French, I can cook! If you give me the ingredients I can cook something. I like to play guitar, even though I'm not good at it. I like to play games, too!
