" My name is Marine Texier. I was born in Papeete at the clinic Paofaï and I lived 2 years in this city. Of course, I do not remember that time in my life but my parents speak always of Tahiti as a wonderful place. Inspired by the culture and art of Polynesian life, I have a real affection for this island. My middle name is Vaïana, which in Tahitian means water from the mud of the rock above. We had a habit over there, every weekend, we did a family picnic on the Venus' beach which is a black sand beach. Tahiti is a volcanic island. I hope one day really return to this island of the Pacific Ocean south where I took my first steps."
