About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in the present, create, satisfy my curiosity !

ABOUT ME

Openminded : I think that's the better word to describe me. I have a BIG curiosity, and I'm always trying to feed it. So, I'm an eclectic girl, and my interests are plurial. I couldn't imagine my life without music, cinema, literature, dance, and, most of all, people. I'm a very artistic person, but I think that the greater experiences come from differences, the evolution comes out of it : you'll be welcomed whatever you do in life, as long as you're nice :). In fact, I enjoy to exchange about a lot of subjects, from politics to cheesy B movies, from spirituality to TV shows, from painting to rockabilly, from ecology to the great taste of a stout !

I'm easygoing and very welcoming. It will be a great pleasure for me to show you my town, go out with you if you want to, and even show you the great nature in or outside my area (I have a car). As long as I don't teach, my schedule is inexistant so, come late at night or wake up early in the morning, it doesn't matter to me ! Did I say easygoing ?

I have to admit that I'm also a passionate girl... Music is a big part of my life and my last coup de coeur goes to dance : swing, lindy hop, charleston, blues, etc. I'm addicted and intend to be for a long time...

Finally, I'm always laughing and have a VERY good sense of humour. That's it :).
