About Me

'm a French woman, I've been travelled from 2006 til 2012 more or less, I've been all over the place but mostly in Latin America.
After living 9 years in Puerto Vallarta, I have moved since 2022 to Queretaro which I really like.

I moved to Mexico in 2013, after having looked to settle down in Latin America, initially I was more focused on Argentina or Brazil. I ended up moving to Mexico to get closer to my sister’s family who had moved to Seattle.

I know Argentina pretty well, stayed in Buenos Aires for six months in 2012 and travelled in lots of places apart from the far south.
I would love to meet people, build up a social network !

PHILOSOPHY

Don't always ask others to take charge but try to see how you can help

so much to see, to learn, so little time to do it....
