One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had been craving to go to Japan for a long time, and one day I just decided that it was time to go there. So I decided that I would stay there for one month and I tried to persuade friends to come and join me. Unfortunately it was going to be me all alone. I was quite scared at the beginning but in the end it was definitely the most amazing experience of my life and I can tell you I was really sad going back to my normal life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting people from different countries because I always want to learn more about other cultures. I also wish to give people advice concerning places I have already visited or lived in so as to help them to make the best use of their time! If you are coming to France, don't hesitate to ask me informations, I would gladly help you!
