About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! I'm from New-Caledonia but I've been living in France for the 3 and a half past years now. Number one reason to leave my coconuts and beaches: studying! But that's also an experience to open my mind to new countries, new people and new cultures! I love traveling (alone or with family/friends): I've been in Australia, in Botswana and in England. I'm funny (well...in French at least, it's kinda difficult in another language but I'll try my best!), honest and I'm more a "tomboy" than a delicate princess. I'm so serious and focused when I'm working, I have to balance this in my daily social life by having an energetic personality with a touch of craziness.
I'm far from being obsessed by my physical but I've always done some sports because I needed to be active and ease my mind. I have been moving a lot (6 different towns) so I couldn't keep the same activity but, when I start something, I'm 150% in.

PHILOSOPHY

It may sound naive but I really believe that "positive things happen to positive thinkers". I'm aware that I have a really good situation and I try to make the most of it everyday.
I'm also a big fan of the "life's too short" idea. I don't care about negative people: I can't get along with every human beings on this earth so I don't expect being liked by everyone. As long as there is mutual respect (or polite indifference), I'm okay.

Interests

As I say, I love traveling: see new things, eat local food, meet people... In my opinion, the world is too big to stay in the same place but when I can't move around I love drawing.
I used to swim, dance (traditional polynesian dance called "tamure"), play basketball and badminton. My last sportive activity was full-contact (kick boxing).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: about sciences like evolutionary biology or zoology, fantasy books, mythology/"history".
Music: really depends on my mood, I have eclectic taste in music (and in movies also).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done so far is living in a reserve in Botswana for 6 weeks. It wasn't very long but we were so isolated that time seems to pass differently. An experience really rewarding and unique.
