I am a French woman with many varied interests (reading, writing, music, cinema, photography, architecture, haute couture, psychology, yoga, science, politics, social issues, languages, history, etc...). I have always felt attracted by people with a difference or a different way to look at the world - probably because that's how I feel myself. I have an interest in all things related to creativity but I can feel my own creativity is still too muzzled so I have to work on it before I manage to dare paint or carve wood at last.
I love honest and straight-forward people. I am shy and wary but once reassured and at ease with people I can be me and very spontaneous.
I'm afraid I am both complicated and simple but I guess ambivalence is quite human
I am in a sort of a rebirth moment in my life, after too many years of painful moments. That means I am open to and eager for many things and cautious at the same time, pretty much a "once bitten, twice shy" thing. I try to live in peace with myself and the others, which is not always that easy.
I am deeply an atheist, but that doesn't prevent me from being interested in religions and spirituality. I feel attracted to Buddhism which I see more as a wise philosophy, a teaching about how to live in peace and harmony, than a religion.
I have been teaching English for nearly 16 years and, even though I love working with teenagers, I am seriously considering a 180° career change, maybe in an English-speaking country.
I have a passion for Ireland, its history, culture and people. I feel at home in Ireland. An Irish friend says I must have been Irish in some previous life
I melt when in front of creamy-skinned, freckled, red-haired people though this is of course not a condition for me to melt
I am here to make new friends and maybe more ?
