Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved stories. She spent all her free time writing and creating adventures with her friends, exploring the world through imagination and play. As the years went by, she grew up, got a passport and started off on real adventures!

As a professional reporter, I love stories. Listening to them, writing them, sharing them. In the crowded streets of New York, along the hiking trails of the Irish coast, in a small café in Faro, every new encounter is a new story that begins, an opportunity for me to learn and connect with other people for a few minutes, hours or days, creating shared memories that will last for years.

I learned a little about gardening and life in the 50s from Henriette, my parents' 89-year-old neighbor. In Pokhara, I managed to cook momos, a traditional Tibetan dish, with my godsister Tashi. I've been lucky enough to host Agneta from Finland, Kristina from Poland or Mahta from Canada for a night, taking them on a historical tour of Lyon, the city where I live, and getting to know each other's culture over a cup of hot chocolate.

This year, I’m taking the time to create more meaningful stories and learn new things (because we never stop learning and growing). Whatever the project is, I'm happy to be part of the adventure and I'm ready to write the next stories with you.

So, if you need someone energetic and always in a good mood, please contact me! 💌

More details about my language interests
There are so many ways to communicate without speaking, but it's always better to learn new languages so you can connect more deeply with people. I'd love to teach French, improve my English and discover and learn new languages!

What else ...

I like spending time singing and playing guitar, writing fiction over hot chocolates (it's very important to be inspired) or just sharing stories and memories with people. I also love hiking and stargazing (even if I don't know the constellations very well yet... but I'm very interested in learning!).

Besides film and photography (I'd could teach you about it if you want to), I also enjoy preparing meals and sharing them with others (watch out for the incredible chocolate goods!). But what I really love is helping people and making them smile.

And of course, I enjoy traveling. I've already explored Ireland, Nepal, southern Portugal, Slovenia, a few European cities (Prague, London, Milan, Vienna, Paris, Porto) and a few American cities (New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco).
