Let's make words travel!

I have always been passionate about languages and travelling. I spent 5 years in Ireland, 6 years in Denmark and a few months in Norway. These experiences have been extremely enriching, on a professional, friendly and cultural level.

I have also been lucky enough to make some fabulous trips to Japan, Canada, Greenland and Thailand. Other faraway and fascinating lands are on my departure list: United States, Bolivia, South Africa, Australia or Polynesia…

I speak English, Danish and Norwegian fluently. I also have a good knowledge of German and Swedish. And it might not be over yet…

These various journeys around the world have also strengthened my attachment to the land where I was born, Brittany, to its history and culture: this is how I learnt Breton.

I hope you will join me very soon on an extraordinary journey through words.
