About Me

ABOUT ME

Ok, I'm not comfortable with this but let's try and be objective!

Well, the basics, I'm french, I lived in Dublin for 4 years because I found a job there and moved back to France about 2 years ago. I really liked Dublin and try to visit my friends there twice a year, loved this country and its people...
I come from Brittany in France, lived in 3 different towns there before I moved to Paris to finish my studies. I was back in Paris area for 2 years, I really liked the cultural events in this city. Always something to do and discover, any day of the week, any time of the day, there is always a concert or a drama or some street performance... I hate the fact that I don't have/take enough time to enjoy that properly. I just moved to Newcastle and looking forward to making new friends here!

About me, I am a quite shy person but I love meeting people. I like people in general, always thinking everybody is good, sometimes one can call me naive... but I want to see the good side in every single person. I also have faith in people, I'm sure we could achieve so much all together.
I am some kind of workaholic even if I hate the fact that I am...

I love a good talk, with friends or with complete strangers, on the phone, in a pub, on the street, on a bench in a park, on an empty beach... and I love silences in conversations, those precious moments when you can assimilate what you've just heard.

I like the craziness of cities and of their people but I feel better with a few people in the middle of nowhere.

I like the smell of the sea and I love skiing (not very good at it though).

I love the smell and noise of thunderstorm... even more if I'm in a warm and cozy place.

I can stay hours outside reading and listening to music.
