About Me
ABOUT ME
I grew up in the South of France, lived in Paris then Lyon and Grenoble, spent five years in London, then Paris. I'm by trade a biologist but I'm generally a geek, in the "jack of all trades, master of none" way.
I love to walk around with my camera, discovering new neighborhoods. I like mountains. I love food, discovering new cuisines, trying new recipes. I love traveling, trying to learn new languages although never getting very good at any so far!
PHILOSOPHY
“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

Teach, Learn, Share
I can help you practice your French, and teach you a few juggling tricks.
I'd love to get more opportunities to practice my Spanish.
I always enjoy sharing tips about photography, or go on photowalks with people.
