Since she was a child, she thought it was the country with the most beautiful name in the world and the capital with the most complicated name. She arrived in 2003 out of curiosity, and for that very reason, she is still there.
Her first photographic report on the island was about the Jungle Train, later baptized as such by us, since it is actually called the “Corridor Train”.
The train trip was followed by many more until she covered almost the entire Malagasy geography, almost 16 years of traveling are a lot, but she still has some hidden corners.
A tireless traveler, she also likes to return to her home, Antananarivo, a city as chaotic as special, which you either adore or loathe.
In his own words: “I’ll be here as long as I’m curious, when I run out of curiosity, I’ll leave 🙂
