Annabelle grew-up in a multi-cultural and international environment: native from Eastern France, she spent a part of her childhood in Boston, and lived in Hawaii during teenage years.

These experiences abroad contributed to increasing her passion for travels and foreign cultures, and strongly influenced her professional orientation.

Specializing into tourism, environment and tropical spaces then appeared as evidence during her studies.

She joined the Institute of Geography (Paris – The Sorbonne) in 2003, got her Bachelor degree in Tropical Geography from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and then obtained a Master degree in Environmental and Land Economics and Governance, speciality "Tourism & Environment" in 2006.

In Honolulu, Annabelle conducted researches with the East West Center (Research center specializing into Pacific Area issues): as part of the implementation of the "Sustainable Tourism Project", she undertook the analysis of new tourism strategies led in the Hawaiian archipelago.

In Senegal (West Africa), the IUCN gives her the opportunity to work on their Plan for Ecotourism Development in the Saloum Delta Biosphere Reserve: she raised awareness of local population through educational meetings, and conducted an environmental expertise of ecotourism tours.

Back from Senegal in October 2006, she chose to go on her African experience by joining Interface Tourism Africa / Indian Ocean Department.

As waiting for her next adventures, she searches exoticism through the great navigators and explorers' tales and finds authentic copies in second-hand bookshops along the Seine River in Paris. She is also passionate with photography, and loves anything which is related to volcanoes.
