CURRENT MISSION

Living and learning

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, easy-going girl with a good knowledge of Paris and the hidden gems that lie within the city.
I work for arts festivals, and also love to spend my spare time at theatre performances or music concerts.
I love good food, especially cheese. In fact, I run a group called "Cheese Lovers Paris".
I try to do, see and learn new things regularly, and to pursue work that I love.
Travel is important to me and every new place I go, I realise how little of the world I really know, so I'm looking forward to a lifetime of exploring.
I am also interested in "collaborative consumption" and sharing economies, social enterprise, international development and charity.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not sure where I'm going or where my life will take me but as long as happy I figure life is swell. I have a curiosity personality, I love learning new things and trying things out and going outside my comfort zone.
