About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Northern France near the belgian border and on sunny days I could see the british coasts. So, right from the start I've always been used to going to what was called a foreign country. Though for me it was just an ordinary way of living.
It hasn't disappeared when I moved in Lyon ; I still want to meet people from different countries, other cultures.
So far I've been traveling but now I'd be more than happy to invite over.

I moved to Lyon because I only can live in a big city. Lyon is nothing compared to a city like NYC (the city I feel the most at home and comfortable with) but it's already a great place to entertain (lots of shows).

Interests

Shows : plays, contemporary dance (Dave St Pierre, Tero Saarinen, Anne Teresa de Kersmaecker), hip hop
Museums, art exhibitions, photography
Reading a lot (novels, essays, philosophy, sociology)

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS : Kafka and everything Simone de Beauvoir wrote. I'm a huge fan and it always comes a little bit as a shock for my friends to realise that my passion in life is a woman who died more than 20 years ago.
MUSIC : Marianne Faithfull, Madonna, Brigitte Fontaine (french singer kinda weird), Björk, Garbage, the Gossip, Scissor sisters
