About Me

My friends would describe me as adventurous, funny and slightly chaotic. I love the outdoors, hiking, cycling, running, yoga, languages and all things creative.

I’m a free spirit fitting into a 9-5, but always finding ways to live my life fully. I’m at my happiest when throwing pots in my ceramics studio. My dream one day is to run a ceramics retreat for artists from all over the world.

I’ve lived in London for a few years, but my travels have taken me all over: hitchhiking through France, working in Berlin, “studying” in Vienna, backpacking through Central and South America, and teaching English (and questionable Spanish) in Russia. Chaos, laughter, and a few near death experiences along the way.

For me, the best part of travelling is connecting with people - swapping stories, sharing meals, and learning from each other.

🇫🇷 Mes amis me décriraient comme aventureuse, drôle et un peu chaotique. J’adore la nature, la rando, le cyclisme, la course, le yoga, les langues et tout ce qui est créatif, surtout la céramique. J’ai étudié à Lyon et fait un service civique à Dijon donc j’ai un vrai faible pour la France et le français !

🇪🇸 Mis amigos me describirían como aventurera, divertida y un poco caótica. Me encanta estar al aire libre, hacer senderismo, ciclismo, correr, practicar yoga, los idiomas y todo lo creativo, ¡especialmente la cerámica! He viajado por Latinoamérica varias veces y me alegra mucho poder hablar español.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is a bit all over the place - indie, 90s disco, early 2000s pop, techno, and 80s like The Cure, The Smiths, Duran Duran and Fleetwood Mac. Live music highlights so far have been seeing Zaho de Sagazan, Solomun, Stevie Nicks, the Scissor Sisters and Biffy Clyro.

I have a soft spot for sad books haha - The Nightingale, The Kite Runner and Never Let Me Go are some of my favourites. Not a big movie buff, but I’ll always binge a good series and love discovering something new.
