About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm about to do on my own a 3 months road trip in west america!!! I don't know this part of the world... but I've heard so nice comments about how amazing it is that I want to discover it by myself! Very excited about this upcoming adventure!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm a 38 years old french girl.

My friends tell about me that I am friendly, funny, easygoing, bubbly (but maybe that's because I've drunk too much champagne in my baby bottle when I was a child!!!).

I would add that I am positive, happy, I like to share life experiences with people, I'm intellectually curious and never tired when there is something nice to do! That's true...
Do not be fooled by my age! I can visit museum all day long (love art and culture), hiking for hours (love walk and nature), dance all night long (love music and salsa dance)... Ok! maybe not all three in one day!! but you could be surprised by my energy!! :)
And of course in between I can go shopping until my feet are bleeding (love fashion! I remind you... I'm a girl and french!!)

I love going out but not only...
I can be very calm and discreet too enjoying a quiet evening watching TV, reading a book or surfing on my computer!
I am also very family orientated. I don't have any but I love children, teaching them lots of things and usually they love me back too! :)

I am very independent with a soul of a traveler.
For example this year I've been to 6 different countries: England, Reunion Island (2 months), Mauritius (a week), Germany (2 months), Ireland (2 weeks), Switzerland (2 months).
I love meeting people, discover new cultures and lifestyles, share new experiences, learning from others!

I had been living in London for 7 years... So I can speak english (and I love it!) but I'm not fluent and always like to learn new expressions and when I can improve myself!
So I need you for that!!! When do we meet?? :)

PHILOSOPHY

I've lost my best friend last year from a breast cancer... Since then I have decided to enjoy every minute of my life!
When we are lucky enough to have a good health we have to be the happiest! That's the most precious goods in the world!
Unfortunatly we are sometimes so busy in life that we tend to forget it!!
I don't want to wait to lose it to realize that!
So my philosophy? Live my dreams to have no regrets! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I climbed on top of two volcanoes: one in Guadeloupe (La Soufrière) and one in the Reunion Island (Piton de la Fournaise)
* I quit smoking (that was an amazing feat for me!!)
* I've swam with wild dolphins in the beautiful turquoise water of Indian Ocean! Wonderful!!
* I am very flexible so I can put my two legs behind my neck!! I know! It's weird!! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you french, fitness exercises, how to cook a delicious stuffed aubergine, how to resist the tickling (it's all about concentration!), how to live with only few cents or how to spend $10,000 in a minute!!! :)
I'd like to learn english (improve it) and about your country/town/area (history, lifestyles, advices about what to do/visit or not...)
We can share our travel stories, our good mood, and our life experiences! It's always rewarding! :)
And why not a drink, a meal, an afternoon together or a night party!!
Learn from each other and having fun!
