About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover - Meet - Share - Learn :))

ABOUT ME

Currently, I am in Romania since January and until mid-May. I am working in a Library and Europe direct center. I chose to come there because I wanted learn more about something new, say stop to the cliches... And I love that country and the population !

In 2010, I was working in France, in a beautiful village as documentalist-archivist. But then, I just wanted to go far away, I wanted to give up everything asap and discover a new landscape, meet new people, improve my English, learn about a new culture and if it was possible choose a sunny country with beaches... And I have been in Australia for one year in 2012-21013 with a working Holiday visa. It is an amazing country, I love aboriginal cultures ! And it's since I'm far away from Europe and France, that I realized how much it's a beautiful area with a wonderful History and Culture that I would like to explore more.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm always smiling and laughing. It makes me feel better when I feel in a bad mood. And it's contagious :)
