I'm exploring my way through life. I didn't want a "big kid" right after I graduated, so I took a year off and went to New Zealand on a working holiday visa. Returned home for a few months, and realized I had to continue my travels. So I went to Australia and South-East Asia. Now I am in France (finally staying at one spot for a while) I want to share what I learned, tips on how you can do it as well, and some random thoughts I have about life. I am not a real write/blogger, and if you really know you me you would know I don't really like it. But I want to try. Ultimately, I want to inspire people to follow their dreams and explore what they are passionate about; no matter how big or crazy they are. I enjoy the simple things in life.

Bienvenu
L’Amour = France. The country of LOVE. When coming to France, many people choose the city of “love”: Paris. I agree Paris has a romantic ambiance that je ne said quoi that France is famous for .
