About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live, live, LIVE... :)

ABOUT ME

Gaëlle is a French West Indies girl who grew up in Guadeloupe. To me, the most important thing is to live my life to the fullest. This life is the only one I will get, though. And I want to enjoy each second. Living in different places and meeting different people with different cultures is very important to me. That's why I decided to get a PhD--a degree accepted everywhere regardless where you got it! This is my passport for the rest of the world... :-)

During my journey in US, I met my husband, Allan. He is a journalist/writer/actor. He is aware of every cultural event going on in the city, so trust me you can't find a better tour guide!
Allan is a spontaneous goofy guy who loves to make new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

We love how diverse people can be and we are highly respectful of people's boundaries. Gaëlle has lived in many places and had to learn the norms of several different cultures. Also--we stole this from someone else's profile but it fits us perfectly: "big joy in little things." :)

Music, Movies, and Books

This is a difficult question, but we'll say this: we've read a lot of books and we enjoy a wide variety of music, movies and TV shows....it all depends on my mood. Gaëlle will say this much...she LOVES to dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gaëlle grew up in the shadow of an active volcano; she has lived in three continents; she is a scientist, a salsa dancer, a piano player, and a traveler.

Allan traveled to Europe; he climbed Half-Dome in Yosemite.

We both like to imagine that marrying someone from a different country is also one of the greatest things we have done so far.
