About Me

At the moment (february 2017), I am waiting for my first baby's birth any time so I don't host any more ! If I didn't change my profile by automn 2017, please ask if I can host since I might just not have taken time to update my profile !

CURRENT MISSION

"Try and leave this world a little better than you found it" Baden Powell

ABOUT ME

Traveller of the world. I love to meet new people and discover what they do, what they like and what drive their lives.

I really enjoy cooking, and eating, good food.

My friends would say I am an eco-friendly girl : I have tomatoes growing on the balcony, a vermicomposting box at home (if you don't know what it is, just come and have a look. It is pretty interesting !) I eat organic food and when I really have to use my car, it is propulsed by LGP but well... for me it is just normal to preserve the earth.

PHILOSOPHY

What a hard question!

"Ce qui peut empêcher un rêve d'aboutir, c'est la peur d'échouer" Paolo Coehlo

"Quand tu ne sais plus où tu vas, arrête-toi et regarde d'où tu viens"

"Try and leave this world a little better than you found it " Baden Powell

"Face au monde qui change, il vaut mieux penser le changement que changer le pansement." Pierre DAC

"Fais de ta vie un rêve, et d'un rêve, une réalité." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
