About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people and share my passion for mountains with them =)

ABOUT ME

Well... where do I start ???
I am a 27 yo woman who has been travelling all around the world since 5-6 years now....
I pretty much enjoy meeting new people and discover other cultures.
When I don't travel (and simply work ;-) I climb mountains near by home... Living in the Alps is one the main reason why I stay in this part of France =)

PHILOSOPHY

I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.
