CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the free champagne when it comes around while tuning out the ruckous of people trying to be louder than the party

ABOUT ME

I'm an art, music, culture lover and maker - but also a recovering perfectionist with a knack for left brain thinking. After orienting myself toward International Development, NGOs and environmental work and having a lot of brain juice steaming over critical thinking, I've let out my repressed creative self and I'm now studying and practising filmmaking, which I love and which allows me to synthetize all my passions and researchs.

I've always been curious to learn and see everything - my traveling being hampered by the fact that not being able to bring my collection of books, instruments, camera and art supplies is a big bummer to me. I like discovering other people's worlds, and meeting curious and creative people.

I can be quite enthusiastic at times, and quite reserved at others, especially in the mornings or when I'm tired. But I very rarely think ill of people, and it's more likely I'm daydreaming or deep in my plans, rather than giving a silent treatment! But I generally go the extra mile to be nice or entertain newly met people or hosts.
