About Me

I lived between Brittany, which is my homeland, and Bordeaux.

My first passion is travelling of course! I love discover places, landscapes, cultures, people, and above all, have new friends around the world. Six years ago, I did my European Voluntary Service in Armenia during one year. I was volunteer in an association, i was teaching french and creating some cultural events.

My second passion is my work: cinema. I'm script girl. I try also to directing: my first movie was documentary abot gypsies's life in Corsica.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Armenia, I worked in an orphan home. I did nothing really amazing but for me it was a challenge to become close of this kids. At the beginning I wanted to teach them french or informatique but I understood the best way to help them is to be in "their world". At the end of the year, we were all the time playing game, giving them some advice to school, or just talking about life. It was simple but amazing for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french and armenian languages, traditional recipes and dances!
I would learn different used, habits and ways of life around the world!
I would love sharing beautiful time with new friends: talking, having fun, enjoy simple moments...
