In a world where everything is going fast, I am one of those annoying people who are trying to enjoy life in the “slow lane.” You can call me a slow traveler as I like to take my time to wander around the places I am grateful to visit. Always on the look for an authentic local experience, I enjoy spontaneous trips more than planned ahead ones. I am usually the "let's buy a one way ticket and see what happens" kind of girl.

My travel mantra : Travel with an open heart and mind, without expectations of a place and wait around for the gifts and surprises.
Grateful so far this brought me to magical places, meeting wonderful souls that I now call friends.

I am always looking to connect with fellow travelers or welcoming locals, hence why I am in love with this community.

MORE ABOUT ME

I have been lucky to grow up by the ocean on the Atlantic coast of France in Biarritz, a well known surfing spot of the South West, super close to the Spanish border. At home, when I am not busy experimenting with plant-based recipes or working on some passion projects, you will most likely find me at the beach enjoying swims in the ocean during summer and skiing or hiking in the Pyrenees in the winter.

Though, I have never dedicated proper time to practice surfing... If you happen to be a surfer and need a place to crash here, help me catch some waves and you will be welcome at my place !

I am fortunate to currently have my life filled with friends, nature, joy, many forms of movement and exploration: yoga, contemporary and ecstatic dancing, running, bouldering and trips to the Saturday morning market (to name a few).

A perfect day for me is made out of new meetings, lots of laugh and learning new things ! I wake up with the goal of leading a meaningful healthy life based on experiences instead of stuff. Trying my best in each and every moment to cultivate gratitude and keep a positive outlook on life. 🙏✨

MY CURRENT PROJECT :

Growing a garden with all sorts of herbs, fruits and veggies on a beautiful shared land. Living off the grid and self sufficiently in a tiny house, designed and built by myself with the help of some friends. Being surrounded every day by like minded, uplifting and inspiring individuals. Keeping on being creative and artistic, moving my body and experiencing the gift of just being day after day. Meeting and welcoming travelers from all over the world to come experience a bit of our lifestyle with us.

Something else you should know about me: I have compassion and respect for all the wonderful living things that surround me. Therefore at this point of time in my life, I feel a 100% better following a plantbased diet. However that is my own personal decision and as long as it is being respected, I respect as well as welcome anyone with a different lifestyle.

Sending you all my warmest feelings. Let's connect !
