ABOUT ME

Hello!

I'm a Thai-Moroccan mix and I grew up in many cities. I love strolling, arts, picnic by water places (rivers, waterfalls), cheese and wine, making photographs, stargazing and oh good breakfasts =)

PHILOSOPHY

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? - Douglas Adams

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time - Kerouac
