CURRENT MISSION

To take the whole world on holiday

ABOUT ME

I may be found out dancing, sampling delicious ice creams, or just at home making a homecooked meal with a glass of wine or a classic cocktail.

I love meeting new people in different places, chatting, getting to know others, and hopefully bringing some excitement and fun into the life of others. When I stay with people I want to make them so happy they feel like they´re on holiday.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live life as a wild adventure; whether it be making art, working out, learning to dance, going whitewater rafting, being sassy in Parisian discotheques, inventing strange new words, or exploring my own city and the world.
