I'm french, from Marseille, and currently live in Glasgow. I love to travel and discover new cultures and perspectives. Before moving here I lived in London, Chile (close to Conception), The Netherlands (Rotterdam), Canada (Toronto). If I could live anywhere right now, I would either go back to Canada or move to New Zealand.
I (try) to work in the Arts and Culture sector, but it has proven to be quite difficult, especially if you want to get paid decently. I worked and volunteered for festivals and social/educational charities, all related to culture, and communication/social media. My degrees are in Translation and International Relations, but I also studied a bit of Cultural Economics. Dream job: anything in a publishing company (preferably reading manuscripts, obviously ;) )
I love love books, photography (esp. people) baking, drawing and colouring books (yes adult ones). I enjoy evenings watching movies and TV shows (GoT, Gotham, BBT...) with my flatmates, and we also love to have fancy dress parties. Cats and baby elephants are my favorites, but I love all animals (most of them anyway). I like maps. I have a vintage looking one and pin the place I've been to on it.
I'm a bit of an environmentalist, and obviously a dreamer. People say I'm a good listener. I always try to keep promises, even when I'm exhausted and all I want to do is curl up with a book, but I have to go to this party I said I'd show up at, and it's raining buckets (of course!).
I can also be a grumpy cat, but less adorably than the original.

Since moving here I spend a lot of time complaining about the weather (we all do), but other than that, I love Glasgow. Fun people, lots of things to do in town and hikes/walks less than an hour out of town. Scotland is awesome. You should definitely visit. xx
