My story
A few steps that brought me here
Introducing yourself is never easy, so here is the short version, in five steps.
- Before
A full life in Paris
I was born in Corrèze, in central France, and grew up in Essonne, just south of Paris. After a university institute of technology (an IUT in France) and then business school, I started out in communication and marketing in Paris. Between two busy days, running became my escape.
- 2016 and 2017
Instagram and the blog
While training for my second Paris marathon, in spring 2017, I started sharing my training on Instagram. I found conversation and support from people I had never met. The blog was born at the same time: at last, a place to write without a character limit.
- 2018
The Camino de Santiago
Alone, with eight kilos on my back, I walked the Camino de Santiago, the Way of St James, from Bayonne in south-west France to Fisterra, its kilometre zero on the Galician coast. I wrote about it in a book, and long walks have been a common thread on the blog ever since.
- Then
Annecy and the great outdoors
I left Paris to live in Annecy. I swapped my marathon bibs for what I like to call trails saucisson, relaxed outings with a picnic stop, and I fell for outdoor sports.
- Today
A more aligned everyday life
I became aware of our impact on the environment, and it changed my habits: how I train, how I shop, how I look after myself, how I set up the house. My content has changed along with me, and I am perfectly happy with that.
