My expat journey
Grenoble, France
I wanted to settle in Rh么ne-Alpes after a few years in the Paris region.
I worked there as a sales assistant, and now as a sales administrative assistant.
I like being near the mountains and the dynamism of the city, the cultural offer is also interesting.
The climate (very hot in summer, and very cold in summer).
Mod脙篓ne, Italy
I responded to a job offer through my old university. I told myself it was an opportunity.
I worked there as a translation project manager, in the largest translation agency in the country.
The cuisine, excellent.
The climate (very hot in summer, foggy in winter).
The high cost of living.
Poughkeepsie, USA
I wanted to stay in the United States at that time, but things didn't go as planned, and ultimately that's a good thing, because I have other plans today.
I did an internship there in a translation agency, which was in fact the work of an employee.
The wonderful Indian summer. Breathtakingly beautiful. The European forests seemed very bland to me compared to them.
New York: breathtaking. It was love at first sight, even if I see her differently today.
Snow (there is plenty of it in winter!).
Discover Thanksgiving.
The way Americans decorate their homes during the holidays.
The food, its lack of flavor.
The fact that you need to have a bank card to be a reliable customer.
Innsbruck, Austria
A necessary stay to prepare for my master's degree in German. And then Tyrol is a region that I really like.
I worked there as a French assistant in two high schools.
The quality of life, very high, the food, the traditions, the Austrian refinement, the mountains.
People speak Tyrolean in Innsbruck, I didn't understand anything at first, and even after that it was difficult.
