About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Handstand everywhere I possibly can :D

ABOUT ME

I love gymnastics(artistic gymnastics), and people have to put up with my handstands and other strange stretching/eating my hand habits... Found of climbing and snowboarding, I live and work in Chamonix and I love it!
Otherwise am pretty normal if you count the fact that i'm kind of a tom boy/hippie at heart. I smile a lot, laugh at everything am mostly in a good mood, up for anything and everything, love to argue and debate trivial and important maters. I caught the traveling gene from my dear parents and I adore it. I cant live without music, and one of my favourite activities is to go see a live band. Loves of my life include music (but i already said that) but also Gymnastics of course, specifically uneven bars!! and CHOCOLATE...
How to make me happy? Give me chocolate, uneven bars or a smile/hug can be enough too...

PHILOSOPHY

A smile goes a long way, There's no need to hold grudges everybody has his foolish, idiotic moments no matter how far and how long that goes. Complain now or never, just get it out so we can move on.
But mainly Laugh as much as possible :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tongario Alpin Crossing in New Zealand, just amazing. Easy hike but fantastic views.
Snowbording in les Arcs, early moring with the sun rising and the Mont Blanc in the background, or getting home nice and tipsy at night and seeing the Mont Blanc glowing as the full moon lights it up and loads and loads of stars...

I want to Handstand all over the world and it will be amazing when i have hundreds and hundreds...well hopefully!
