Live your dreams

A leap into the unknown France

Child, I wanted to travel, to be a photographer. And USA has always fascinated me, but I only had the basics in English. But the best way to learn is to go to the country, right ?! Three years ago, I left everything to realize my dream and stayed there for 3 months. I had just bought a ticket for San Francisco and 3 nights in an inn. The first days were difficult. But I met people, many of them have encouraged me to talk, to overcome my fears of making mistakes and the trigger was made. I traveled by bus, to meet people, locals. From SF, I went to Oakland, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Miami, New Orleans, Montreal, NY. After that, I never stopped, it's my life now. And bilingual now.
