About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Communicate !

ABOUT ME

I am a very curious person - open-minded and always ready to meet new people and see new places.
I am a french native but I live in South Africa with my Fiance who is originally from Cape Town.
I love travelling and meeting new cultures /people
I think the best to do this is usually by cooking together and sharing a meal. And tell stories.

PHILOSOPHY

No specific philosophy.
Except being myself, honest with myself and others, and always put myself in other people shoes. Be curious.
