Curieuse, voyageuse, aventureuse, et pleins de choses en euse. Heureuse!
a lot of things that end in "ER" : dreamer , traveller, story teller

PHILOSOPHY
"La vie ce n'est pas d'attendre que les orages passent, C'est d'apprendre comment danser sous la pluie"
Life, is not about waiting the storms to end, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.
Interests
j'aime me réveiller le matin en craquant mes orteils. Ma passion dans la vie, c'est de faire semblant de marcher au plafond. J'adore bouquiner dans les arbres, tester du bout des doigts la douceur de ma couverture polaire, partir à la rencontre des hommes préhistoriques,espionner mon chat quand il espionne les oiseaux, me perdre en pensée dans des villes inconnues. j'aime sentir le craquement de l'herbe fraiche sous mes pieds nus, l'odeur du café qui m'extirpe du monde des songes, pousser la chansonnette dans les toilettes, pour l'acoustique! j'aime mettre de la fantaisie dans ma vie, et de la poésie dans mon regard, sur l'autre, sur le monde, sur la vie!
My favorite hobbies : to pretend i can walk in the sky, to sing in the toilets just to test the acoustic, to look for prehistoric human being in the caves, to read fascinating books in the threes, to get lost in unknowned cities, to spy my cat, to see the world poetically, to give free rein to my imagination in every single moment of my life.

Music, Movies, and Books
books :
Jean Auel : earth's children
such a beautifull story about the beggining of humanity, and the meeting between homo neandertal and homo sapiens sapiens. Fascinating!
Boris Vian : l'écume des jours : what a writter !!!!! an author that can play with langage and make you see the meaning of words as you never comtemplated them. To read Vian is a linguistic experience in itself.
Haruki Murakami : kafka on the shore.
Do you wonder what power of imagination is? Just read Haruki Murakami and travell with him in a poetic world where an old man can make happen a rain of fish, just because he has an imaginary broad enought to sublimate reality.
Amin Maalouf : Samarcande.( and all the Amin Mallouf books, actually) This author is not only a beautifull quill, he has the power to make you travell in the past. With him, you will discover the underside of History. From the Barberousse pirate that terrorize the mediterranean of the XVI century, to the ottoman empire and its beautifull philosophers, scientist and writers like omar kayam, averroes, to the christian crusade from an arabic point of vue, or to mani, that III century 's philosopher from which we took the concept of "manicheism", Amin Maalouf brings you in the fascinating nooks of history.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
j'ai vécu un an et demi dans un village de pécheurs lébous, au Sénégal, j'ai appris leur langue, et créé des liens magnifiques avec les villageois.
I spent one year and a half living in a fisher village in senegal, learning the langage of the people, enjoying tea-session, training very hard to make foam with the tea (essential!), performing theater in the streets,telling stories for the children, dancing,hunting the cockroach, eating fish and rize..hum....every day, twice a day,arguing with my favorite tailor to get him making up my clothes the way I ASKED,please not too many frills on my dress, having acras for breackfast ( delicious!), having spicy coffe for breackfast ( disgusting), being myself and enjoying soooo much this life with those beautiful people!
