About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet diverse people to broaden my window on the world

ABOUT ME

French girl, I grew up on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean and came to Cape Town 12 years ago.
I spent 3 years in Dublin between 2003 and 2006, but came back to Cape Town as I missed the place so much.

PHILOSOPHY

It's gonna have to be in French: A coeur vaillant, rien d'impossible.
Good luck translating that one!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Ken Follett books. Pillars of the Earth and World Without End are my ultimate. I also love anything by James Michener (The Source, The Covenant, Alaska and Hawaii are my favourite).
In English, I love U2, I am a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crowe, Sting and Johny Clegg.
As far as French music is concerned, I like the old classics: Jean-Jacques Goldman, Renaud, Cabrel, Benabar...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I saw was the eruption of the volcano back in Reunion where I grew up. Being a couple of hundred meters from the flowing lava was truly amazing.
Niagara Falls comes a close second though... And Vic Falls is next on my list of things to see!!!
