My geographic and tourism studies led me to volunteer within an association called EGEA (European Geography Association – for Students and Young Geographers). I discovered a real passion for travel while meeting new people and organizing the best trip in France they could ever have wished for. Then, life took me down a different path, to live at the other side of the globe, in Seoul – South Korea. Since then I’ve become even more eager to travel and discover the world. However, my task today is to make you dream through our blog at Trip My France!

My most memorable travel experience: My first time taking the plane to Oslo, in Norway. I will remember all my life the view from the plane into a snowstorm, until the moment we emerged from the clouds to find ourselves in a forest of snowy fir trees. It was magical and a bit unreal.

My favorite spots in France: I have always lived near the ocean and have to say this is the place where I feel the best. I am very often far from home and so my most relaxing holidays are on the island of Noirmoutier, in Vendée. A house on the beach, beautiful sunsets every day, kayaking in the Atlantic… dreaming!

My favorite hotel in France: the Sainte Victoire Lodges, close to the eponymous iconic mountain that inspired the famous painter Cezanne, who’s said to have painted it more than a thousand times! It’s set just 5 minutes’ drive from Aix en Provence, a lovely and dynamic Provence small city, among the vineyards and olives trees.
