ABOUT ME

I'm Juliette, born in Paris in a multicultural family who gave me very early a great desire for traveling. I traveled a lot with my parents and my twin brother when I was a kid, then at the age of 21 started traveling by myself !

I often say I'm kind of a bookworm because I enjoy studying and reading a lot, and I have always been passioned about what I have studied until now (I completed a Master degree in Medieval art & archaeology in 2011). But staying often with my books doesn't mean I'm always with them ! ^^ I enjoy going to new places and meeting new people, especially if they are curious about other countries, other horizons ...

My favourite artistic activity is MUSIC, I play the piano and the Irish recorder.

One last thing you should know about me : I'm specialized in Viking studies, but ... please don't be afraid of me, I'm more like a nice explorer and trader than a barbaric warrior !

PHILOSOPHY

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
(Christopher McCandless)
