Passionate about history and culture, I have worked for over 10 years in tourism and hospitality as a trip planner, travel leader and marketing sales for private and public companies. Meeting people from all over the world is something I like and I also like to travel. I have lived in Barcelona, London, Perth and Brisbane! Provence missed me too much, that's why I decided to return. I am still committed to showing the best of Provence and France to my guests!

For two years, after having traveled through Latin America, I made my home in this beautiful land, of which I like to share everything I already knew plus everything I have learned, have fun while discovering new places, stories, even small curiosities That gives color to the story is one of the things I like the most, I love to invite mates and strum the strings of a guitar, if time permits and the mood is good.
