ABOUT ME

Wow, this is a quite difficult question for me to answer! I feel like my character's developping constantly, each time I'm making new travelling experiences or meeting someone interesting who's showing me another point of view on life. But I'll try to give you some hints: I'm open-minded, which means I'm easy with people I don't know yet. I like to be aware of what I'm doing and appreciate each moment - yoga helps me a lot to do so!

PHILOSOPHY

"In every beginning there's some magic, which protects us and helps us live our lives." (Hermann Hesse)

Interests

Literature (especially french & german), dancing salsa & lindy hop, singing in a choir, doing aerobics, playing the ukulele from time to time, discovering new music... and Montreal turned me into a great fan of hot yoga!!! Otherwise I love cycling and spending time outside, travelling, cooking, having nice conversations and meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hummmm the tam tams in Montréal are a great event taking place every Sunday in the parc Jeanne Mance: acrobats from the circus, musicians, punks, jugglers, random people hanging out, playing fresbee or having picnics, and all that with a background of dozens of drummers tantalizing the audience with a groovy, kind of melodious sound... Amazing on a sunny afternoon!!

And then in San Francisco there was this amazing woman who passed by a homeless man, asking him the simple question how he was - and making him look so happy and dignified... This little scene lifted up my heart.
