About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring

ABOUT ME

I am a third culture kid filled with the curiosity to explore more of this world. I was born in France and lived there for the 12 years of my life, then I moved to Turkey where I spent the following 10 years, then to Boston for 7 years where I went to grad school and settled with a job following my graduation. Now, I am back to France and happy to share a little piece of our home with dear travelers.

I recently discover the backpacking world which I love, and I am trying to make the most out of my vacations that I have throughout the year.

PHILOSOPHY

"People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did,
But..
They will never forget how you made them feel.." Maya Angelou "

In addition; I work with kids who has special needs. I do it for 60 hours per week. I feel special and from a different world working with such special kids. I know that the answer of "why do you live your life" is hidden somewhere in my profession, but I still need some time to figure out what it is exactly. I hope this doesn't make me a workaholic :)
