We, the both of us together, started travelling in 2011. Leaving France, our home, our jobs for a better place. The question was: where to? How do you choose a country to live in? How can you choose when you don’t know what the place looks like? We- I speak for ourselves- can’t. We can’t […]
Changing criteria
Koľko jazykov vieš, toľkokrát si človekom
“The more languages you know, the more men you are.” Being a teacher doesn’t mean that you have all the knowledge. Being a teacher includes learning from your students. And last week, I learnt something. A simple sentence, an old proverb still used in Slovakia. A proverb that explains why Slovaks are open-minded, why it’s […]
Hide-and-seek: Secrets of Bratislava
On my very first day in Bratislava I noticed two things: the blue sky and this gentleman keeping me company in the main square. A week later, while wandering around the old town I saw my gentleman’s friend: the man […]
Sleepy travels

Understanding traveling
It was almost a year ago that we left the nest to fly away. Although I had always said that I wanted to dedicate my life to travel, life and courage gave me a kick only a year ago. Recently I have met people and shared thoughts that got me thinking: this is what people […]
My week starts on Sunday
Sundays are special days. I wouldn’t say depressing or boring, just special. In this path I chose to follow, Sundays are the only day when I can sit and think about my week. What I did good or wrong, what I didn’t do, what I need to do. A lot of questions arise: Am I […]
