Cécile Perin

Hi! I’m Cécile, I’m 16 and I’ve lived in Paris, France, since forever. My mother is Peruvian so that’s how I learned Spanish and how i’ve been able to contribute to this great project “Cannelle la demoiselle”. I love studying with my cat Sora on my desk and i’ve been practicing judo for nearly 9 years now and I really love it! I’m more than excited to learn more about Cannelle’s future trips to different countries, so see you soon and take care y’all!
