ABOUT ME

Hi , we're a swiss-french couple.I add Sylvain ) Who i am ? It depends; i used to be a traveller with my bike. Now i'm a mom, trying to keep the right balance between personal freedom and achievement and my family. Im generally a city girl, love going out to see a movie, drama, an exhibition, and playing boardgames... but i need nature to "feed" me, so i enjoy geneva's lake and mountains. Living a kind of "quiet" and stable life, but triing to avoid routines and habits! Setting new challenges, keep moving and learning.

PHILOSOPHY

To accept i cannot control or manage everything :-)

You don't need to be the best to enjoy doing something.

Treat everyone as you would like to be treated.

You cannot like everybody, not every one like you too.

Be available for my friends.

Don't believe all your hear and don't say all you think.

Doing my best to keep the sens of humour whatever the situation is.
See the full half of the glass, not the empty one, especially if full of good wine.

My personal guidelines is a kind of be "connected" to what you do, the people and environnment around. In one word, it means for me to enjoy and feel the here and now and be concerned, open and stay out of fears...Live more in your heart than in your head.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled alone with my bike in China, some people think its amazing, but i dont! For me "amazing" is the way we feel things more than the things we do:-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, experimenting new receipes(quite never follow it exactly:-). Cooking together, sharing about our tricks.
Teaching to adults or childrens(hopefully:-).

Sharing about cultural diversity, what makes our identity.
