CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying LA, representing my country France in America, love, fighting against injustice and ignorance, and of course traveling everywhere in the world and meeting new great people!!!!

ABOUT ME

So what to say?? I'm a french girl just moved from France to LA, and i guess i'm just a real beach girl who is enjoying every day the awesome Venice lifestyle which means running,biking,rollerblading, or stakeboearding (but, this, i'm learning, and it's haaaard!!)along the beach, and also of course bodyboarding and i'm learning surfing!! I also looooove clubbing sometimes, even if i try to avoid as much as possible Hollywood/Sunset world, probably a bit too superficial for my european education and conception of life! lol!
I live in a very healthy lifestyle: i try to buy organic and local as much as possible, i'm a vegetarian for 16 years(almost vegan) for respect of life as mainly reason, i don't smoke, i don't like alcohol (so i mean, i'm very attracted to Straight eddge movement SxE).
About my job, i'm a french, history and geography teacher in highschool (i used to teach in France for 7 years to 17-22 years old boys), but i currently work in the french lycée of LA;
During the summer, i work as french leader in summercamps with kids/teens in United States and all around the world.
About my personnality, I can say that i'm very sociable, passionate, dynamic,love partying with friends!! and have fun in general! and also pretty rebel against our society sometimes!
And yeah, i've to say too i'm Desperate housewives addict, lol!!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm vegetarian for 15 years cause i feel compassion for animals suffering, cause being veg' is good for Earth, cause being veg' is also good to fight famine in south countries, and also cause eating vegetarian food is so delicious!
I don't care of religions, cause i really dont need to believe in something to be happy and especilly cause i live my life thinking by myself!!
Sports, travels,activism, having fun, meeting interesting people are my drugs!!!
