I was raised on a sailing boat, an unconventional upbringing that set the stage for a life marked by constant movement and exploration. Early on, I found myself attending a Greek school at the age of two, only to cross the sea and return to France by the time I was four and a half. But we continued sailing for more than a decade after that, spending every summer and every holiday on the sea. Living on the boat meant continuously discovering new cultures, food, and people around the Mediterranean Sea.

During this perpetual journey, I cultivated a social spirit, forming connections and friendships through the diverse locales we encountered. Life was a tapestry woven from the stories and perspectives of those we met. In the company of joyful and caring individuals, I learned to appreciate every fleeting moment.

This upbringing instilled in me a deep desire to make the most of life’s every minute. Volleyball became my outlet, a realm of encouragement and collectiveness where victories, defeats, laughter, and shared passion became the norm. The sport introduced me to resilient individuals whose strength and determination inspired me, proving that nothing is truly impossible.

But there exists also a softer side of me that expresses feelings and emotions through music. Tears forming in people’s eyes or witnessing the elderly dance to the rhythm of “Highway to hell” serves as a testament to the extraordinary power of shared emotions. 

Beyond the realms of sports and music, my emotions find an outlet in contributing to a dog shelter and capturing timeless moments through sport photography. The exaltation of a dog running excitedly or a mother expressing gratitude for the memories captured mirrors the sense of accomplishment and pride derived from positively impacting someone’s life.

In the still-minimal lapse of my existence, I find inspiration and fulfillment through a myriad of experiences, constantly fueling my imagination, energy, and passion for a meaningful life.
