What if the road became your greatest teacher, and the unknown your only plan? A vibrant tale of wandering, synchronicities... and chosen freedom.

Life is a mystery in itself. In perpetual motion. And I live it to the fullest, following my heart and my intuitions. If you had told me 10 years ago that one day I would leave everything (career, security, family, country...) to go in pursuit of my dreams, I might not have believed it. Although, maybe. Who knows, deep down? I often have the strange impression of having lived several lives, in this one and the same life. And, of still living a whole panoply of them as time passes, through my adventures and travels!


In fact, it's possible that my entire journey predestined me for this most unusual life! Even when I left everything behind to pursue my dreams and passions and settle under the warm sun of Costa Rica, I hadn't finished surprising those around me. It seems that I've never been a so-called "regular" girl and that I've never had a so-called "regular" life either.


However, I never wanted to be different. I am just me! Authentic. Simple and passionate. And, unlike many people, I listen to life and my perceptions. Open to it too! I generally don't have a fixed plan or a "to-do list", I simply go with the flow of life... That's how, without having really planned it, after a few years spent in my small adopted country, life pushed me towards this new bohemian life, on the road. Towards this life of freedom. Of experiences. Of strangeness. Of encounters. Of fears. Of worries. Of discoveries. Of the unknown. Of happiness. Of wonder. Of love.


I was going to discover, learn, and lose myself through these different experiences. Through these different dimensions. Through these different countries. Explore. What would have happened if I had turned left at the intersection, instead of right?! What would have happened if I had stayed put instead of listening to my inner voice and leaving?! Life offers us millions of possibilities and opportunities. Everything can change and transform in the blink of an eye, for a yes, for a no. Which road will we take at the crossroads? Where would we have ended up if we had chosen a completely different avenue?!


Here is the story of my last years as a nomadic vagabond on the road, wandering and carrying my whole life in my suitcases, with me... From Costa Rica to Quebec, via Italy, Switzerland, France, Nepal, Hawaii, the Dominican Republic, before making another jump to Quebec... To end up at my starting point, in Costa Rica! Discover my journey from page to page, through these different chapters, trips, experiences, adventures and dimensions!
