About Me

I am an 18 years old French girl who think I was born in the wrong country. As much as I love France, I'd definitely rather be born British !!
Yes, I may be young but age is just really a number and the desire to travel is greater than that.
I am so eager about travelling, meeting new people with a different story. My biggest wish and dream right now would be to grab a backpack, a pair of trainers and my passport and leave on a journey I will make up along the way. I love change and getting into situations challenging my comfort zone.

Interests

I'm a listener and would love to hear about your story and share mine ! I love learning and taking photographes. A good book is always welcomed as well. By the way, I like to picture the world as a book and every country or experience would be a new page, I'm working towards writing an encyclopedia. I am passionate about others culture, way of life and languages ! I'm very open-minded and curious !

I'm currently studying to take my 'Baccalauréat' exam as we call it in France which corresponds to the A-levels in the UK.
I'd like to become a translator or a job where you can meet many people from all over the world speaking as many language as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes are generally really wide... I listen to pretty much everything... except for dubstep. I would always like a piece of music from Pink Floyd or Sting. Traditional Irish or Scottish music will always be close to my heart ! I'm forever wishing I could have seen Freddie Mercury live he was just so good ! My current obsession is The Beatles.

As for book, I would always go for a well-written Sci-Fi or an history-based novel ! Any John Green book would also be perfect although I strongly dislike soap novels. My lastest baby is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and I'm currently into some Oscar Wilde

Teach, Learn, Share

I highly value education, it is an underestimated power. I think it can lead to anything.

I also believe in the power of dreams and love the saying 'If your dreams do not scare you they aren't big enough'. I think we should all always have them and work towards fulfilling them !

Countries I’ve Visited

England, Hungary, Italy, Morocco, Scotland, Spain, Turkey
