I am easy going, love laughing, can be quite serious if I drift in some deep subjects, it scares me every time! I adapt quite well to most situations and personalities I encounter. So we might find common interests in different grounds. I once met someone who organized many different kind of meetups back home and always manage to invite such diverse crowds all together. To my amazement, everyone always connected. So I marry this person! And integrated this principle: we're all the same.

I see myself in the eclectic hippie-dancer-yogi-crafty-artsy type.
But also in the adventurer-hiker-sporty one.
And the minimalist-reader-tedtalker-street photographer... if it's even a type.
Oh and your parents would probably love me!

I love to get to know people, I think everyone is so inspiring in their own way. Maybe that's why I find passion in documenting them, through a way I enjoy particularly, photography. If you feel generous: challenge me to take your photo!

Future trips:
New Zealand, South Island.
South and Central America (is calling)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen so much generosity!

Picnic in the Valley of Flowers.
Ride a donkey during the monsoon on the Hem kund pilgram trail/stairs.
Bath naked with all ages village women in Vashist.
Had a conversation in none-identify language with Japenese women in a sento in Osaka.
Discover the BEST "New-York style" bagel in Tokyo!
Ride the top of a bus for hours in the Philippines mountains.
Scooter journeys all over Asia on every kind of road and weather conditions.
Walk through a village where a tourist had never laid foot.
Have been request by a village's old-lady medium (with the prettiest eyes I ever seen)
Have been invited by Vietnamese at a near-death celebration of an old man that broke his hip. We got hand fed and drank hard with the family.
Surfed 10 days in a csurfer's home while he was gone: that was one of the most generous act and trust towards another CSurfer I ever seen.
I survived an avalanche on my way to ice caves.
...
to name a few!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in learning your own way, without a school program.
I found many inspiring/influencing people and you are no exception.
I think by having no expectations, by doing what you feel Ike doing, you let space for everything to happen and that's then that you learn.
All you need is love for what you do, who you are, for people around you and who you meet today. Memories are made in a fraction of second.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share the sparkles. Give hope and dreams
