CURRENT MISSION

Sail as much as possible. Planning a transatlantic and a transpacific.

ABOUT ME

When did I get the travel bug ? I guess it was a long time ago when I was a little girl... watching documentaries on TV and dreaming about it ! I had to wait till I got 17 and my arrival in Paris for my studies to make my dream come true !
I've travelled in quite a few countries over the years but it's never enough ! I'm eager to discover new countries and cultures again !

I left France to make a change in my life...working in maths wasn't something that could keep me happy ! So between every country I chose New Zealand...why ? There is something exciting about going to the absolute opposite side of the world. I mean, from France, you can't go any further !!! And also because of the nature, and the job opportunities.
It has now been 8 years since I moved to New Zealand and I'm still enjoying it. I own a sailboat and spend most of my time on the water when I'm not at work.

PHILOSOPHY

Never let people decide of my life.
Tough ain't enough.
