About Me

IMPORTANT : I usually prefer to host 1 up to 2 nights to start.

CURRENT MISSION
Becoming an Occupational Therapist and still traveling

ABOUT ME
Originally from France, I also lived for quite some time in Vancouver. I have now moved to Aberdeen to start my Masters in OT after graduating from uni in France in 2018.

Traveling came for me as a wonderful eyed opening experience. It is a powerful tool to widen your opinions on life, people and the universe in itself I think.

I enjoy eating with friends, cooking local and chemical free food, being surrounded by nature, swimming, hiking and playing music.

Few words I think could describe me well : resilience, resourceful, human, sustainability, zero waste, foot print, cheeky.

I also follow advices from people like Vandana Shiva, Pierre Rabbi, Ghandi.

To spare money I would rather share a nice bottle of wine, some cheese, have a good laugh and chill at home than going out.

Tell me what you would wanna share in your message so I know you have been through my profile.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind to people!

Change your life if u're not happy and enjoy the best of it!

Be what you feel and not what people feel for you !

Take it easy

Life is short just have fun and live in the moment.

I have so much to learn from others.
