ABOUT ME

Having moved to Paris 5 years go, I am now building my new life here with my partner, working towards a Phd in Sociology. That leaves me very little time for anything else, so I won't be able to host any time soon. Do try me out for a coffee though, if you're in Paris and you think we share some fields of interest!

Before moving to Paris I travelled for 9 months, commencing in Japan and ending in France, with Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, India and England in between. I then moved to France and completed a Masters degree in Anthropology, doing 3 months of fieldwork in Tokyo!
