CURRENT MISSION

Freshly arrived in Toulouse mid march and curious to see what this beautiful city holds in store for me. I'm planning to be here at least for the month of April, hopefully even a bit longer.

ABOUT ME

Generally happy, sun and summer loving, my favourite pastime: chatting with (old and new) friends.

I enjoy chilled days with a book but also love exploring cities and landscapes, climbing, hiking or spending nights out. Big fan of apéros en terrasse !

Also, my French badly needs some practice ;)
