Hello everyone,
I'm back. A few weeks ago, I spent three days at my parents' house in the mountains. It was a nice and chill weekend. It had a few incidents... I fell and hurt a grandma. Yep, not my finest hour... After that, the next day, I had a panic attack... It was pretty awful. It only happened to me once before... I could not think, breath or move. I could barely talk. All I wanted was a hug and a bit of prodding... Not easy not easy. I hadn't ski in 10 years. The accident had overwhelled me more than I thought... It took me a while but I finally managed to try to ski again. I got to spend New Years Eve there as well. It was quite funny. I met a lovely couple who showed me how two people can find themselves even years after they lost hope in love... I drank, eat and slept a lot. Definitely one of my best memories :) I can't wait to go back in February!
Do you enjoy skiing?
Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hello lovebirds,
A few month ago I went on a little adventure with one of my best friends. We decided on a whimp to go on a big adventure. We went to California in November. It was pretty nerve-wracking. It was our first time in California and in the US. The beginning of the trip was complicated: missing papers, long lines, traffic jam, different sits, long flights. I experienced long flights for the first time. I have to admit I hate it. I couldn't sleep on the plane. They feed you too much plane/plain food. It's cold. People are sitting too close to you. It never ends. The bright side is that on our way back we had a few nice movies to watch which made the time fly by quicker.
We finally arrives at LAX after 17 hours. Our hotel was in Hollywood: The Hollywood Hotel. It was a nice hotel: clean with a good complemantary breakfast. They had different facilities which we unfortunately didn't get to experience.
On the second - well, technically our first day in LA - we rented a car. A lovely red Toyota Corolla and head for the highway. During our trip, we saw: the Hollywood sign, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, Hollywood boulevard, Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica, Newport Beach & Disneyland Park California. We ate, visited, walked, did some shopping, drove and enjoyed the sun and the beach. It was a break from our usual routine.
I fell in love with Californian beach but I don't think I'll go back there any time soon. I was overwhelmed by the social differences in Los Angeles. It’s truly heart-breaking to watch.
For the first time in my life, I truly realized how lucky I was to be born in France, how priviledged we are in Europe and simply that what I'm accustomed to can be thought as luxury to some. While here I'm simply part of the middle class, my struggle is nothing compared to theirs. I was fortunate enough to be born in a country and a family such as mine. I have never had to worry about where to catch my next meal or where to sleep or if I will be out on the streets by midday. If this trip has taught me anything, it has to be just that.
Where did you last travel to?

Hello my lovely birds,
I hope all is well. Last month I went on holidays with my dear friend Melissa. We discovered Berlin. It was my first time in Germany and it was not what I expected. Bare in mind that I understand and speak very few german. It was funny to try to make it work despite it. Thankfully, most of them speak fluent english. I loved the architecture. I loved the colourful buildings and their open steets. Their public transport system is fairly amazing. They have many options for traveling around the city: coaches, subways, trains... However, the german logic is very far from mine. We had a hard time understanding how everything worked. On the last day we had lunch in a lovely vegan restaurant. I tried and adopted vegan asian food. I was so amazed by how many vegan options were available everywhere throughout my journey. I'm definitely jealous of every country I visit. In that department, we are so far behind in France. On overall, I enjoyed Berlin and its lay back vibe. In my head, I'm already planning my next trip there ahaha
Have you ever been to Berlin?
