Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a genre-free spirit — I’ll read, watch, or listen to almost anything! But if I had to pick favorites:

Books: Classic literature and French detective novels

Music: Dance, trance, and techno

Movies: Anything and everything, preferably in the original language. I can’t resist a good thriller or true crime

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-- Spent a summer in the USA, where I partied 24/7, somehow managed to work, and met an incredible bunch of people — hands down the best experience of my life.

-- Learned Italian from 0 to B2 in a year just to argue with baristas about the perfect espresso.

-- Worked at the FIFA World Cup, where I discovered that football is basically a religion.

-- Lived in Calabria, fell in love with Southern Italy, and met the most amazing people (and the best food).

-- Switched careers from linguist to programmer in France, coding in a language I was still learning (because why make life easy?).

-- Gave tours at the Hermitage Museum.

-- Dined at the Eiffel Tower’s restaurant, because why not add a little je ne sais quoi to life?

-- Was an exchange student in Zagreb, forever falling in love with the Balkans and its warm, unforgettable people.

-- Rode the world’s scariest roller coasters in Las Vegas (and lived to tell the tale).

-- Surfed in the south of France, because balancing on a board is easier than balancing life decisions.

-- Visited Disneyland 4 times — because adulthood is overrated, and magic is forever.
