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.
