About Me
ABOUT ME
I am native of the southwest of France but I lived in Paris for 12 years, where I studied Political Science. I moved a lot during my childhood, that's why I love travelling and discovering people and new cities :) I am now in Nairobi, Kenya for 1 year, until end of April 2018 for a volonteering with the Scout family. It was a big challenge for me to leave my family for this far and this long, but I have no regret at all, I love Kenya and I dont want to go back to France haha
Je suis née dans le Sud Ouest de la France, et une bonne partie de ma famille y vit encore. J'ai habité à Paris depuis 12 ans et y ai fais mes études en géopolitique. J'ai toujours rêvé de partir au Canada, alors j'ai sauté sur l'occasion quand on m'a proposé d'y passer un semestre en licence ! Depuis, je n'aspire qu'à voyager! Je vis maintenant à Nairobi, au Kenya où je travaille pour le Mouvement Scout, c'est une expérience incroyable, si incroyable qu'il me devient maintenant difficile d'imaginer une vie "uniquement" en France :)
J'ai beaucoup déménagé durant mon enfance c'est pourquoi encore maintenant j'adore voyager, rencontrer de nouvelles personnes, cultures, habitudes etc
