About Me

— I am currently travelling in South America until June, therefore I can’t host —

I currently live in Rennes, a rainy and welcoming city of the North of France, which is the city where I was born.

I am very close to Spain and I’ve been travelling a lot in this neighbouring country, also lived a year in Madrid for studying, which remains the city of my dreams and my second house 🦋

Latin America’s spirituality, cultures and histories continue to inspire my daily life since I began to travel there.

Travel is to me a beautiful adrenaline, essential to build myself, to step outside my comfort zone, to discover other cultures and ways of living and have wonderful encounters

It is also essential for me to always feel inspired, and working as a living model for schools and workshops, arts are really really really important in my daily life :)

I love walking in cities, I am observer and I use to meditate quite a lot when I travel. It permits to understand better new surroundings. I am a landscape lover too. As a vegetarian, protecting the environment is one of my principal political and ideological values
