“The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

I LOVE travelling! It's something I need particularly as I like change. To my mind, I can not imagine working all my life on the same desk, or in the same office, with the same workmates, in the same country or the same city, etc. I hope I will be able to travel with my work for my own personal enrichment, otherwise life would be really boring... The reason why I chose to study abroad this year was to meet new people, new cultures, speak English, Spanish or speak in languages which differ from my mother tongue (French). I also wanted to work hard on new projects, with new outlooks and new objectives, take up new challenges in different environments.

This year thanks to the people I met (and I will meet), I learnt so many interesting things, I visited and I will visit so many different places around the world. Moreover I also spent a lot of time in airplanes, trains and buses... on the road in Spain. Although I was sometimes very exhausted by all these trips, I really like this way of life. However if you are a family man I think that it is not so easy to find a good compromise, but you have to. Family life and work life have to be compatible if you want to be happy and satisfied.

Anyway, while I was visiting la "Ciudad de las artes y ciencias" of Valencia I found an interesting book : "Como disfrutar en los aeropuertos" I have to admit I haven't finished reading it yet, but it is a very educational and captivating book. I will write more about it very soon. And for those who travel, like they breathe this is your review : Globaltraveler. To subscribe visit the website : http://www.globaltravelerusa.com.

NB : The title of this post is by Saint Augustine a ancient roman christian theologian (354-430). He was also Bishop of Hippo (ancient name of the city of Annaba, Algeria) from 396 to 430 and is known to be one of the Latin Fathers of the Church.

Hello World!

I'm a talkative and outgoing person and I would like to make this blog my very own tribune. It has taken me much time to figure out what subjects are relevant enough for me to express my views on and how I should go about it. Now it's clear to me and I'm ready to express my feelings and ideas about various subjects which interest me. Better late than never! So in this blog you will mainly find articles about computers and IT - you should also know I'm an Apple fan, sorry for those who are keen on Microsoft. I will also talk about Sciences and sometimes you will able to read some posts about Political, social and economical issues. I'm not only talkative, but also curious and open-minded, so I hope this blog reflects that too.

As the name of this blog mentions it, it will be updated daily and you will find various information (like the top 10 albums on itunes) thanks to some interesting widgets I will implement on this blog. Obviously, you will be able to post some comments to express your point of view on the subjects which I will talk about.

Anyway, I'm going to create an attractive and original blog, or at least try to do so. As Apple states, "think different". Well, I hope I can meet the slogan's challenge and I also hope that you find my blog interesting and educational.
