I have lived in Texas for 8 and a half years now... And I became American almost 2 years ago...

L'Étang-Salé, Réunion, Reunion Island

2000 - 2013

L'Étang-Salé, Réunion, Reunion Island

Sea and mountain activities. Lots of hiking. Meet another culture. Raising my children in tolerance...
School teacher in Saint Louis, first in CLIS then Réseau Ambition Réussite elementary and middle school, mainly specialized in learning to read for students in great difficulty. French as a second language.
I fell in love with this island and its inhabitants, I thought I would spend my life there but in the meantime love decided otherwise... I loved the quiet life there, going to the beach with the children after school, surfing, bodyboarding, fins, mask and snorkel... The mountain side, the 3 cirques, the volcano, the wild south... The carry, the Creole language... The diversity, it's not for nothing that it's called Reunion...
maybe the capital St Denis... and then again I will never forget this island. She is part of me, she captivated me;;;
