I was born in Singapore from a French mother and a Thai father. Later I moved to France where I lived for 11 years, from La Rochelle to the south of France and finally Fontainebleau, near Paris. I went to university in Edinburgh, Scotland, and also experienced living in Shanghai, China, and in Valencia, Spain.

I have been used to travelling from a very young age, and I love it!
Discovering new places and meeting people is so enriching and opens your horizons.

I am always happy, as there is no reason why I should not smile! I am so thankful, life is beautiful and there is so much to explore!

I am currently living on a sailing boat with 2 friends for 6 months, going around the Mediterranean from Marseille to Greece! Our trip will end at the end of 2021. We have some fun videos for each country we be been to with the boat, you can find them here https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC3qWHs0Zciu3Bbgzzx7404w#menu and we also have an Instagram page at pirates.bae
