About Me

CURRENT MISSION : PARIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ABOUT ME
I was born in Grenoble. I am the 5th of a family of 6 kids. I think that my childhood gave me the love to share and fed my curiosity. I enjoy to meet people, to share different culture and to travel around different way to see life. I love laughing....I am much sportive till I am a kid. I used to practice high level competition in acrobatics hand to hand. Now, I like to express myself through dance and aerial acrobatics. I am sensitive to environmental problematics, and I also feel concerned with occidental behavior. I am rather bio and organic even if I do enjoy some nutella waffle :-).
I love nature and sport. I like climbing outside and to walk on the mountains and see beautiful landscapes. I love to see and to experiment different way of life too, even in our own country. Each meeting give me confidence in life and make me think a little bit wider. I like to breack the walls that are inside me.

***FRENCH***
Je suis grenobloise, 5ème d'une famille de 6 enfants, et des mêmes parents, oui oui ca existe encore. Dans ce contexte, j'ai appris à partager, j'ai grandis dans l'autonomie avec une ouverture importante sur les autres. C'est peut être pour cette raison que j'aime tant les rencontres et que j'apprécie les différences, la diversité des cultures et des modes de vies. J'aime en être le témoin et les expérimenter. Je suis sportive, sensibles aux problématiques environnementales.
Scientifique de formation, j'ai un regard assez critique sur notre monde et j'aime me poser des questions "comment ca marche" "pourquoi on dit comme ca" "qu'est ce qui se passerait si..." J'ai viré artiste après mes études... à balle de danse, beaucoup de pratique et de persévérence... avec un bel espoir de carrière qui aura du sens pour moi.

PHILOSOPHY

Souris à la vie et la vie te sourira.
"Smile to life and life will smile to you".
