CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, to be imbued with other cultures. To be happy and peaceful!

ABOUT ME

Well I guess the first thing you need to know about me is that I'm French! Apart from that I think I am a flexible person who adapts herself to all sorts of people by trying to find something positive in everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

"Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get."

"Vis comme si tu devais mourrir demain. Apprends comme si tu devais vivre toujours."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done many amazing things in my life but I reckon the one that blew me away more than any other was when I went paragliding above the french Alps in the summer! The view was just breathtaking! It was a sensational experience and I would gladly do it again!

Also I saw Hugh Grant when I was working in a cinema in London as well as the Prince Charles (we had an eye contact!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to stop your hiccup! I can teach you French and that's pretty much all I can think about right now!

But what I'd love to be taught is how to dance flamenco and how to do a proper headstand without ending up with massive pain in my legs!
