About Me

I don’t have a couch available! I’ve left everything & I’m travelling the world 🌎

CURRENT MISSION

In September 2021, I left my job and sold all my belongings to go travelling the world with my music gear and busk (play on the street) in order to share who I am with the rest of the world and meet amazing people!
I am also learning about growth, self-love, self-empowerment, yoga, acrobatics, as I’m interested in the overall mind-body-spirit.

ABOUT ME

I was born in the UK and raised and in the french countryside. I'm an enthusiastic and very friendly person. I like sharing nice moments with other nice people! I come from a family of 7 children. My parents are British and they moved to France when I was a baby so I speak both English and French.
I'm interested in psychology which I also studied at uni and I also love art and our ability to express emotions through our creativity — mixing these passions made ma want to become an art-therapist. I love singing, playing the guitar, the piano, practicing impro theatre, drawing, writing...! I started recording my music in my room a few years ago and then after a difficult heartbreak I eventually wrote an album. That led me to make video clips and learn about video editing. I like learning new things and being independent.

So my new thing is sharing my personal growth and trying to inspire people to through my travel videos which are not blogs but rather more short documentaries with an uplifting message. My latest Yt video is called “becoming fearless”. It’s about how I dared to step out of my comfort zone and started going for my dreams. If you need a little boost in your life, check it outttt!! 🎈

n o t s o f u n n y p a r t

Seen the number of guys who expect me to have sex with them because they offered their place, I’d like to make it clear that CS is not a dating app. If you want to meet girls for sex, please try other platforms such as Tinder.

I’m here to meet beautiful souls and to make friends that I could see again in my life. Isn’t it fabulous when you make a friend for life while travelling?

By the way, I’d love to do creative collaborations with photographers and videographers around the world while travelling!! 🤍 🎥 📸

🌱

I’d love to make you some nice vegetarian foood, sing you a song, draw you a little picture, teach you how to make a macramé plant hanger, or some french swear words. We could practice yoga, move a little, do some strengthening exercises, go for a jog or a walk! Obviously there’s a thousand more things we can share : ideas, discoveries, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Anything is possible. We are capable of making this life a wonderful adventure.

Life is too short to be unhappy. I’ve decided to find light in the darkest place of my soul. Today I share this positive message to the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a European InteRail trip, hitchhiked through 7 countries in 21 days, visited lots of places in Europe and South America and I’ve met people from around the world on my couch before I went travelling! I went scuba diving in Porto santo, I went on a bike trip to Spain, lost my front teeth and almost died! I hitchhiked the whole of France by myself. I challenged myself to do the splits which I achieved in 119 days, and made a YouTube video about it. I learnt how to draw with a challenge I created « 100 days of drawing ». I went up the Machu Picchu. I composed an album after a breakup 🎵 I took a freediving course in Turkey with Turkey’s freediving champion himself! I learnt to pole dance, I spent 14 months travelling Europe, Turkey and Jordan. I learnt circus In Goa, I almost died from food poisoning in Indonesia and lost all my muscles, I got free places to live, free food and transportation most of the time…

And maybe the craziest thing was to leave everything with no plan of returning to go travelling the world.

Update : bungee jumping with balloons attached to my wrists + hitchhiking all over Thailand and on 4 Greek islands

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a greedy vegetarian haha, and it's always a pleasure to discover new flavours from different parts of the world so i'm happy to learn from you and share your cooking favourites with mine! I am a healthy foody, I like when flavour and quality come together!

Being flexible, I could be tempted - if you can sell your idea - to go on a trek as well as eat a pizza on the floor. Hahah

🤍

Anything is possible.

If you emanate love, you will receive love.
