About Me

I grew up in France and moved to the USA by myself when I was 19. I lived and studied in Florida for 2 years, worked in Texas for a year, studied in Oregon for 2 other years until I got done (and tired haha) with school. I went on many crazy and fun adventures all around the country, including a 3-month road trip in the US and Canada onboard a 1981 camper I had just bought. Early 2018, I moved (for the hundredth time I know!) to Wisconsin for work and ended up spending more than 7 months in Michigan working on the Great Lakes and living the northerner life!

Early 2019, a devastating event has motivated me to take an extended break and go on an adventure to focus on myself, relax and have the time of my life. Back to Florida, I booked a flight to Hawaii, which I was able to explore for 3 months. I flew back to Florida mid 2019, got a job in naval architecture for a few months and decided to move back to France for a few weeks to get ready for my next destination: French Polynesia, 2020.

Anyway! As you can see I love going on trips, discovering traditional and exceptional places, meeting locals, experiencing the local life and culture. Oh and I love food too...
