I run 3 times per week : most of the time with the club and some time i run lonely or with my dog Simon around my home. i love running because this sport allows me to exercise. I'm in nature, i see beautifull landscapes and smell trees ans flowers scent. i like to run with the club because it's a moment user-friendly, this moment allows you to decompress. i do race runs on weekends some time and i think it's the one of my favorites part of running because the atmosphere is so great and it's a time to see your progres and be happy. more, the whole club is reunited so it's the time to run all together and it's so great. i also go to the gym and i like it so much too. I love the nature and the sea. The one of my favorite activity is the boat indeed i think sea is so beautifull and so calming and that's so pleasant. I've been lucky enough to have been boating since I was a little girl, so I developed a passion for the sea and the marine environment. I passed my boating license this year so I was able to start sailing. i like to moove and travel because i like discover things and learn news things. I love to cook so much, i spend a lot of time to cook during my freetime . I cook pastrys and american pastrys like pies and cinnamon rolls for example. I like to cook salty too. I cook for my family the most of the time. I'm a pescovegetarian, indeed i don't eat meat. I like read books. I make a lot of creative activities and diy like painting pottery drawing writing journaling making jewerlies etc I like study and learn. I like clean and arrange to be in a clear environment . I study sciences in high school (math physics and biology) because i want to be a marine biologist . I want to be able to work in the entire world because i want to discover the whole world. thank you so much for reading ! Amélie
