 In a certain utopia, it would be easy to find a job you love, one that changes every day and where you can earn enough money. Or not working and just enjoying life... In a more realistic world, I'd say I'd like to work in a profession related to architecture. A job that involves architecture, design and ecology. One that can be practiced in the great outdoors, and one that allows me to travel! Discover new cultures, new landscapes and learn a lot.  For this job, you need to know the basics of architecture, but also have an artistic approach. I also add that you need to enjoy making contact with people and be at ease speaking (possibly knowing a number of languages).  It would also be utopian to say that the salary doesn't really matter to me, but I'd say a salary that allows me to enjoy myself every day, and in the best case scenario would allow me to travel.  At the moment, I'm continuing my degree in architecture. Afterwards, I'd like to get another more spec...

I will choose a one time travel to the past.  Between the years 1936 and 1975. Date of Franco dictorship throughout Spain. I'm sure you're wondering why I chose such a specific and dark period !  Well during this same period my grandparents were living their most dificult moments, as my mum. I'm really close to my grandparents the only problem is that they don't want to talk about this period or just avoid it. I think this time travel could help me to to understand and know more about my family. I already tried to obtain information from them but the only think they want to tell are happy memories. Obviously I know it's not easy to share and remamber. At the same time it could help me to know more about my origins and why they choose to go to France.  I definitly would'nt want to stay there for the violence and the dark things that happend. I may have stayed for that period but clearly not in Spain. Wich at that time knew its worst moments. I'd also like to ...

Well I will say that my best vacation was during the summer 2022. What could be better than holidays with you group of friends in the south of France ? We were 21 peoples in one house during 6 days. Yes 21 is a lot you would say ! A full week of fun, sun, swim, "pétanque", parties, food and drinks. The routine was : waking up, doing some pancakes, juice and salad fruits. Sunbathing and playing cards near the swimmingpool. Do an aquagym class and still swim a little. Then playing pingpong or volleyball. At midday preparing the meal with everyone. We had many cookes and everyone loves eating, so we spent a lot of time cooking goods meals. Next doing a little nap all together ! The afternoon could change a lot ! but normally we used to swim or playing games. We loved spending hours playing bord games.  Time flew and we like to prepare the meal and the evening very early in front of a movie.  At last, we ended up eating and drinking to get the evening off  to a good start, wh...

Hi FAU Bloggers, To begin, I think it will be very hard to choose only just one country. I'm tempted to tell you all of the coutries if i could. Last year i would have said Chile but now that i already visited a big part of the courty i'm not sure it would be THE one right now. From what I can remember, i traveled a lot with my parents during my childhood, and most of the time it was in Europe. A little bit normal for saving money. We saw Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Swiss,UK and of course France. But I also travel to distant countries like Venezuela, Tunisia and Mexico. One countinent i didn't do could be Asia. So i think I will choose Japan also, sorry teacher not very original,  but this place has an intresting culture. Obviously  i didn't choose this destination for the same reasons. In Asia and specificaly in Japan you have so many things to discover. I'm talking about the landscape obvouisly, but also the food (soooooooo delicious sushi, ...
