31. Corinne, 38. Berlin.

Carpenter/Photographer

Submitted by: Alena, one of her best friends

“When Corinne picked me up in Paris at Orly airport on a visit there looking like this, I knew it would be an amazing trip. She has a beautiful array of black ink tattoos — like line drawings — that she’s drawn herself over the years. A true original, she’s got her own style and loads of amazing tools for fixing and building things in a jiffy — wooden floors, tables, kitchens, custom made beds, and knows her way around  German flea markets, little towns, and back alleys. Above all, she is an extremely, extremely loyal friend with a heart of gold.”
