About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travelling around the world to find my heaven place to live

ABOUT ME

I like meeting people, talking about almost anything and discovering new way of lives, I love laughing. I need people around me ; I lived with international flatmates in Spain and then in London and every month they were different (so 41 roomates at the end!) and I love that!!! I have also worked on a world cruise ship ; the experience was pretty amazing. I'm not the last to party, drink and hang out in town. I can either be quiet or crazy, depends on the day.
I can adapt to every situation ; I am actually able to party overdressed in an exclusive nightclub in Dubaï and the day after, live in a small african village with no power wearing a "boubou".

PHILOSOPHY

"La vida es un carnaval" Celia Cruz
It is also my tatoo.

"Amores perros", "Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas", "Y...tu màma también!" "Babel", "el baño del papa" "a cidade de deus" "Historias minimas", Lilja 4-ever", Kitchen stories".

I really love Brazil and African culture (mainly Senegal) became kind of a strong passion recently...
