Impressions de Voyage

Impressions de Voyage

Traveling is my oxygen. I need it. Constantly.

Be it for work or pleasure, and I mostly mix both, traveling to me is so much more than just taking the plane to a different location. It is in fact one of three (3) essentials that I absolutely need in my life. With travels, I keep dreaming, learning, and finding out about new things and re-discovering old ones.

My bucket list of countries to visit is still long, even though I have been to the five continents already. I am working on shortening this list as much as possible ;)

Let me quote a favorite here: "To stay is to exist, to travel is to live". I am not sure who its author is. What matters to me is that it really sums up how I feel about traveling: I don't feel alive if I had to remain in one spot. The world is mine to explore and check out.

Saint Augustine said it beautifully: "The World is a Book and those who do not travel read only one page". So here comes my invitation to you to join me and delve into the pages of my books!

Australia. A Family Reunion At The Other End Of The World - Part 1

2021/01/29

Back in 2013, I flew with my mom to Australia. I would meet my aunt and uncles and their families, and mom would see the siblings she hadn't seen in over 35 years.. as you can imagine, they were all hugging and crying as I awkwardly stood there, not knowing what to do at the very emotional reunion. Luckily, the tears were soon replaced with huge smiles and after a couple of days spent in Sydney and the suburbs, my mother and I explored several cities and enjoyed ourselves over the next 3 weeks.

These pics are a curated album of our wanderings in Ozzie Land. Enjoy!

Multicolored Gardens

Mom has always had a "green hand" as they say: she is capable of planting a stick and having it bloom...

Here is a collection of her flowers and plants over the years.

Thanks, Mom for constantly reminding us that our bond with nature is crucial and for instilling in me the love of natural colors as a necessity of life!
