This travel destination section is my journal, with travel tales and pictures of the places I have particularly loved along the way. I was born on breathtaking Reunion Island, have lived in Europe (in France, Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands), and have been based in Asia (Vietnam) for two years, so you will mainly find references about these continents here. Let me take you on a journey!
