About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Helping in anyway I can.

ABOUT ME

Very surprisely, I love traveling! I've been traveling for 7 years, Canada, UK, France, USA, Brazil, Germany ...
Then I spend 3 years in Germany waiting for my ex-boyfriend to finish his studies. I think it's a nice country but I couldn't feel like being a part of it, the city where we used to live wasn't my favorite...
Berlin, Hambourg, those are GREAT!

Then an other year on the road: New Zealand, South Africa, Mozambic amazing coutries, people, experiences...

I now settled down in Nantes and I'm thiniking with The man in my life, to open my Bed and Breakfast in that nice region which we call here "the Brière" I work as receptionist in a 4* hotel, my schedule is some times weird and I don't have too much time, that's why being accomodate at our place is hard...

Those last two years, I was working and traveling through France as a seasoneer, in Corsica summer, french Alps winter.
I loved my life but I'm glad I settle down in Nantes.
I love sailing, I have my boat driving license but never practise as I don't have a boat ...

I love snowboarding, been working in different ski resort in the french Alps for 6 years.

Photography, oh yeah, my way to express so many feelings.
I start painting too (it's more "cosy"!)
Horse riding, scuba diving...

Above all what makes me get up every day: meeting people, and trying to understand the complexity of our beautiful but tortured world.

I love extrem sport, but also a good bottle of wine and cooking for my friends.

Et voilà , oh yeah, practising languages (spanish, german, portuguese...)

PHILOSOPHY

Without you I'm nothing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camp in my hamok in the middle of nowhere in Brazil Pantanal, right, it was "secure" but I was alone in this kind of jungle.
It was an amazing week. I saw so many animals, birds, crocodiles, monkeys...
I loved it 2006.

Earthquake in Christchurch New Zealand 2011.
Kind of things to remind you how important life is.
