About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a French women from Caen, Normandy, France.

I've always been passionate about travels and road trips. After travelling with my son around the south pacific for a few months back in 2010, I've always wanted to get back on the road for more travels.

In 2014, I've decided to drive from my home town of Caen to South Africa. We are three in one car : George (French American), Carlos (French from the south of France) and me. We met on a internet forum as we were all trying to find someone to travel with ! We left Caen in January and will be driving along the west coast of Africa. We plan to be in Cape Town around june.

I've been a copilot in French rallye driving for 15 years, in different WRC rallye cars. I was working 15 hours a day during the week and would go on a rally stage during the weekend... Crazy life ! It's been amazing, I've discovered many places and regions of France while on the road for the rally driving.

I'm also passionate by literature, I can read 2, 3 books in one day if I really like them...
