About Me

I'm not hosting ppl at the moment!! But I can meet you to have coffee, mezcal, pulque or chocolate, yes! 😁

This is a hard question. I'm a very laid back girl. I laugh and smile a lot. I laugh about the silliest things. But isn't that life? To laugh about it all ? Embrace it all? This is just a game. And we are here in these bodies for such a short time.... I'm done taking myself so seriously (buuuut can still take myself too seriously sometimes haha).
I'm an English, French, and Spanish teacher, yes I can help you with your Spanish!

I believe I'm curious and I like to ask lots of questions, really get to know people and listen to their stories. I get excited whenever I learn anything from anybody.

I love dancing, I enjoy letting my body speak, and move however it wants. Do you know Naharin's Gaga dance method ? Like that, I love it.
I also looove music, and to sing. I listen to music almost all the time !
There's nothing better than exploring a city while listening to some cool beats.
