ABOUT ME

Personal description underway. I just finished my studies, and here I am working on a urban planning project in Cotonou.
I'll spare you the whole "I'm open minded, love partying and try new food" mantra (even though I guess I do). Enjoy riding my shaky bike on bumpy streets, recording urban rhythms and sipping ginger rhum. And the new food thing !

My hobbies include daydreaming and collecting airlines' blankets.
