introduction...


Hello! My name is Eugenie and my life began 16 years ago in compiègne, a small city in the north of the France...I do not live mainly with love and fresh water but rather my friends and music.
I like to translate the words of English and American music to be able to understand the songs. I also like the English and American culture generally, it is not as in France, they have another mentality (more free than most of the French).
In conclusion, I traveled extensively there and know this country better
