About Me

I'm a French girl who likes to travel and meeting new people. I love discovering other people's lifestyles and believe we all have something to learn from each other. I strongly believe in kindliness, empathy and sharing.
I enjoy nature, board (and other types of) games, going out in nice pubs and taking pictures of the places I visit. Books are also something that is really important to me and I love reading and has written some shorts stories (next step: a novel. I'm still at the very beginning though^^) I always find interesting to discover new activities.

Here's a quotation from Pierre Rabhi, a French philosopher that pretty much sums up something I strongly believe in: "We'll have to answer our true calling, which is not producing and consuming 'till the end of our lives but loving, admiring and and taking care of life in all it's forms.

I used to be a primary school teacher but quit to go on a Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand where I have done some great woofings, worked and some road trips.
While here, one of my main activity has been hiking. I love it and believe it's a great way to enjoy the amazing sceneries this country has to offer! :) Next steps: Walking accross the whole South Island on the Te Araroa from December to February before discovering some new countries.
