I am a curious soul who’s lived in the city of lights for over a decade now. I studied acting, with a focus on improvisational theatre, creative writing, and I'm also a linguist. I am addicted to Paris, in love with its history, and telling it is one of the things I love the most. Storytelling by nature, being a tour guide has been the medium I’ve found to bring my skills with my greatest passions together. These are art, comedy, people, history, languages, travel, and communication. I can't wait to meet you and take you on this journey!
