Since I was young, I've always wanted to travel, to traverse long distances, to find myself elsewhere, to see what the world had to offer. There are so many different places on our planet that settling for just one throughout one's life made no sense to me.
So little by little, when I could, I started exploring our globe, as opportunities presented themselves: small trips with friends in Europe (Serbia, Bosnia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Spain, etc.), a short stay in New York and New Orleans, a bigger trip to Japan with my brother (what an incredible memory), and even solo backpacking in Mexico.
I finally decided to take on the Canadian adventure, leaving France and my "comfort zone" to settle in Montreal and truly live elsewhere for the long term. And what a good decision! I discovered a new territory (so rich), new people, a new culture, and there's still so much more to do. They say travel broadens the mind, but it's since I've been in Montreal that I finally understand this saying.
