ABOUT ME
I am a very creative, energetic, friendly, open person. I grew up in France and moved over to Cambridge when I was 11, which I guess i consider my home.
I have done a bit of travelling in the past but living in New Zealand is definitely one of the most exciting things I have ever done!
I am a painter, photographer, writer, wanderer, daydreamer,and most of all I never give up!
PHILOSOPHY
life is too short to do things you don't want to do.
