Who am I?

From Brittany to the Arab world

Born in Brittany, I grew up with a family history rooted on the other side of the Mediterranean. My father’s family lived successively in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria: a heritage that undoubtedly helped awaken my curiosity about this region, its languages and its cultures.

I chose to give Arabic a very concrete place in my life by becoming a translator and interpreter. For seventeen years, this profession has led me to deepen my knowledge of the Arab world, its histories and its traditions. Travel has added what no book can quite convey: conversations, everyday habits and encounters.

My encounter with Oman

From my first stay in Oman, in 2018, I remember a road trip full of discoveries. I did not yet know how much this country would come to mean to me, or that I would return so regularly.

My subsequent stays have allowed me to go beyond that first discovery, revisit familiar places and explore new ones. Beyond the landscapes and heritage, the moments shared with Omanis have also given this country a special place in my journey.

Their welcome and hospitality touch me on every visit. Some memories are made of small things: a conversation, a break over a karak, an unexpected invitation. Yet they matter just as much as the most remarkable sights.

A perspective I want to share

My profession has taught me to pay attention to words and what they reveal about a culture. I bring that same attention to discovering Oman and writing here.

Behind every story is a personal experience, sometimes a surprise, and often a desire to understand more. Speaking Arabic enriches these exchanges without ever exhausting the questions: I continue to learn and to be surprised.

Over the course of my travels, the idea of a future in Oman has slowly begun to take shape. For now, though, the adventure unfolds here, through Croissant & Karak.

Welcome to Oman and welcome to my world.
