I'm Isabelle, 25 years old, french and american. I'm currently on a career break and on a journey of self-love and rediscovery. I'm looking to travel to all those places that I haven't got a chance to getting to yet. And along the way meet memorable and interesting people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

It's impossible for me to narrow down my favorite music. I like too many different things. When I workout I listen to a lot of house music, When I cook I listen to movie soundtracks of Pulp fiction, Kill Bill and to chill out I can listen to piano, portuguese music. Some of my favorite groups/artistss include: The Strokes, Peggy Gou, Ateez, Gipsy kings, Nirvana, Daft Punk, Djo...

Movies... I really like anime. I'm a big fan of all of Studio Ghibli's movies. I love DemonSlayer, Hunterxhunter, Avatar (if you consider that one an anime), One punch man and currently I'm watching Jujutsu Kaisen.
My favorite genres are dystopian, fantasy and action. I enjoyed the latest bladerunner and cyberpunk animated series. Major fan of Lord of the rings. I like a good gangster movie. Tarantino and James bond movies are some family faves of mine.

Books: I've read a lot of Agatha Christie books. My favorites are: The man in the brown suit, Murder on the blue train, Death on the Nile. Off the top of my head, if I had to choose books that really had an effect on me, they'd have to be: Norwegian Wood and also 1Q84 by Murakami, 1984 by George Orwell, the Roads to Kathmandu by Barjavel, Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle, The Hobbit, Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones, A farewell to arms by Ernest Hemingway
