Meet me

Hi, I'm Chantal

After completing my studies in french language and literature at Limoges university, a town in the middle west of France well known for its china, basket ball team and francophonie, I became a french teacher. I have started working in the American University in Bulgaria on january 2001 after three years of teaching french in the Alliance francaise in Seoul. Needing a change in my life and willing to discover a new culture I decided to send an email to Aubg after discovering the address on the internet. I was attracted by the location of this country and its past.
During my free time I like going to exhibitions. I like oil painting for having practise it myself. I like european cinema.
I am open to new experiences and I like adventure.
