About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fix my bike

ABOUT ME

I've moved a lot, tried a lot of different things and come to the conclusion that it's really the small things: meeting people, learning from each other, laughing together, quiet moments, good books, good beats :)

I left University to move to Sydney, Australia and now I'm in Paris, discovering its art, food and folk. Learning it's language. Thinking about making it my home.

PHILOSOPHY

People are just people - behind money, culture, language, status, looks - we're all the same and we can all connect. Just live and let live, be kind to one another, share :)
