ABOUT ME

Lorraine B, 20 years old
nickname "Lorelai Bee"
Apart eating lots of honey, what I like in life is to enjoy time spent with others but also alone, study and visit new places, always learning more, have drinks with friends and make sure everyone is having a good time when they are in my company. i love to read, to cook, to see friends, to learn more about the world we live in. i am a vegetarian and i enjoy eating really healthy and encouraging organic agriculture. i have been living in Paris for 4 years (i went there once i had my baccalaureat) and i really love this city, although i go home to bordeaux very often to see my family and get away from the big city life.
i am very friendly with others and enjoy good conversations and mutual understanding. i try to make every traveling trip a great experience and try to shake off my french habits for a while every time i am in another country.

PHILOSOPHY

i want to always see the bright side of things
i want to spend quality time with others, help them with their questions, problems, doubts, share their feelings and understand them, get together to talk, laugh..
i highly value every aspect of friendship and i try to give every thing i can to people i love
also i like to better myself and give myself new goals to achieve.
i think a lot about contemporary problems (unequalities between social or gender categories, economic problems and their social consequences, contemporary changes in the world, people's history and beliefs)
