My expat journey







Seoul, South Korea
I would like to make my third year at university in Sung Kyun Kwan University in Seoul to improve ma korean skills and to learn about this country I'm really in love with !

Lyon, France

Dublin, Ireland
Student at the Institute of Technology of Carlow, I'm currently trying to get my Bachelor in computer systems development. I share a flat with a turkish girl.
I study (not really well... unfortunately), I share my culture with other students from everywhere in the world during parties (cause Ireland is also fun !), I travel and visit the country...
Beautiful landscape in a small green country, being close to the nature when I'm travelling, meeting so many people from everywhere, improving my skills in english...
My course at university is very borring. Unfortunately, irish aren't clean like I thought before (in their personal life as in the street...). Life is expensive and I couldn't find a job.

Languedoc Roussillon, France

Bristol, England
I was an Au pair in an english family in Swindon. I was in charge of girl twins with another french girl and a spanish guy.
I travelled in all the country to visit all the places I wished to know, I played with the girls, went out to the park, to the city, taught them some french, etc... I was also in charge of the cleanliness of the house.
I improved my english, I made a lot of friends (all the family members and people from the city), I learnt about the real stylelife of native english and how it is to leave far from its own family and friends, in another country (I was 16).
The spanish guy with whom I worked was really mean with me (he was 27 and me only 16) but at the end he got fired... And then, I only remember of good experiences !!

Languedoc Roussillon, France
Here is my native country, between the mediterranean coast and the central mountains, near Spain and near the French Riviera... Where the sun bright almost all the year long, where the rain isn't very present, where people talk with a singing accent, where you can find vineyards everywhere...
In reality, I'm not born in Languedoc Roussillon but I lived there all my life. I went in schools from 2 to 21 in some villages and cities of the region and this part of France is everything I know !!
The awesome weather, the beaches, my family and friends, the sound of cicadas, the odor of the sea and the vineyards...
B茅ziers isn't a really great city because it's not very safe and it's durty (dog poops in the streets, papers, trashes, etc)...

That's a pretty good article. But once again, be careful, because depends on the village where you will live, the cost of the house is completely different. If you want to be near the water, you have the choice between a wide list of villages on the ... Read More
