ABOUT ME

I have a French father and Colombian mother but don't strongly identify with either. I am child of Wicker Park Chicago in the 90's.

I enjoy small gatherings with close friends around a table of delicious food and lots of wine.
I will always say yes to a night of dancing.
I am a home-body who also loves being outdoors especially for long hikes in nature, bike rides or walks around the city. I have special interest in edible plants and fungi.
I love trying new things.
Typically very excitable and spontaneous, I am now learning to live more slowly.
I care deeply about our planet, nature, and the well-being of living creatures.

PHILOSOPHY
Be grateful and pay it forward.
Don't sweat the small stuff.
You won't know until you've tried it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the amazon jungle with my family. I was super young but it totally shaped me and my respect for indigenous knowledge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of capoeira, merengue, bachata and salsa or some French, English or Spanish. Or something from my profession about hydrology and hydraulics, and flooding issues.
I love to cook and learn new recipes.
I want to learn about your ecosystem, community organizing, how to build stuff, German, Arabic, and new sports.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Meals. Stories. Laughter.
