I thought I would share with you what I've been working on these days and if you are in Paris this summer, I would love to meet you!<br />
<br />
<b>Paris</b> is such a beautiful city and if you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mi_niss/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, you know my love for good food, beautiful places and fitness. I wanted to create an incredible event that represents all the things I'm passionate about and I made it happen. My team and I organize <b>vegan outdoor brunch in Paris</b> this summer.<br />
We thought about every details. We wanted the food to be healthy, tasty and colorful.<br />
<br />
<br />

What to expect:<br />
<br />
This Saturday 21st July 2018, we're doing a<b> yoga class prior the brunch at park Monceau</b>. The lesson will be given by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gingeryogicat" target="_blank">Manon</a> from the Parisian Sport Studios <a href="https://www.chezsimone.fr/" target="_blank">Chez Simone</a> . We made a special menu for this event and I'm very excited! Everything is vegan and healthy. You will try our vegan waffles, our granola bars, hummus ... and so much more.<br />
<br />

<br />
We wanted a very <b>bohemian vibe</b>, so we decided to organize those picnics at <b>Parc Monceau, Paris</b>. It's such a beautiful park and it's probably one of the most romantic places in Paris.<br />
<br />
We organize those events every week-end but you have to book online as places are very limited. We want it to be enjoyable for everyone so it can't be crowded.<br />
<br />
Come eat with us! You can book your spot <a href="https://www.feelgoodevents.fr/les-evenements-du-moment-2/" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
What do you think ? What is your favorite thing to to do in Paris ? Where do you usually go for brunch ?<br />

you something, you don’t have to be rich to visit Santorini. I’ve lived in London
and Paris and those places were more expensive than Santorini in my opinion.
The only things that are really expensive on the island are the fancy hotels

are maybe more expensive than on other Greek islands but it’s still okay and
you can make it work. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><u>How to fly
there:</u> From Paris and other big European capitals, you can find some good deals,
especially if you book in advance. I flew with Aegean airlines and I think it
was probably the best company to fly with. But any flight company will do
considering it’s a short flight. If you are familiar with the blog, you know
that I’m a huge fan of flying during the low season. Flights and accommodation
are a lot cheaper. It tends to be less crowded too. However, I was surprised to
see that there were still a lot of tourists in October on the island.<o:p></o:p></span>You might think that October is risky weather wise, but it’s not. I went there in early October and it was hot and I could swim in the sea. It might rain a bit in the morning but the sky clears out pretty fast.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Go on momondo.com to find cheap flights. I discovered this website a few months ago and I believe it’s cheaper than kayak.com etc since their commissions are smaller. But use a variety of websites and don’t forget to turn the private browsing on so that the prices do not go up later.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>How long to stay:</u> I think 5 days is perfect. A lot of people like to visit other Greek islands when they are in Greece. I made this mistake the first time I went to Greece. I wanted to see Athens and Rhodes and only had 4 days. So, I spent 3 days in Rhodes and one in Athens. I could not enjoy those places fully and lost a lot of time at the airport.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">My recommendation is: if you only have a couple of days available and your budget is tight, pick one island only and explore it fully.</span></span><br />

compétitifs. J’ai découvert ce site il y a quelques mois, et je le trouve moins
cher que kayak.com et compagnie la plupart du temps. Mais faites vos recherches
et comparez les prix sur plusieurs sites. N’oubliez pas de passer en navigation
privée pour éviter que les prix augmentent.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

pense que c’est une bonne durée pour explorer l’île. La plupart des gens aiment
visiter plusieurs îles en même temps. Si vous avez moins de 4 jours de
disponible, je vous conseille de vous concentrer sur une seule île. Santorini
est une île incroyable et je vous conseille d’y passer plusieurs jours. En
deux-trois jours vous ne verrez pas assez de choses (c’est mieux que rien si
vous n’avez pas beaucoup de temps). Et si votre budget est réduit, c’est mieux
de tout dépenser sur une seule île (ca vous fait économiser le transfert pour l’autre
île aussi)<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

Oia is amazing, we all wish we could stay there but for most of us, it is not
affordable. Stay in Fira if you can. Fira is the capital of the island, so you
have everything there to plan your trip around. You can find hotels for 25euros
for 2 or backpackers around 14euros/night. Most places have pools but if they
don’t it’s all good. You have wonderful beaches and a lot of beach clubs with a
pool too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

et il y a tout autour. Vous y trouverez des hotels à 25 euros pour deux ou des
auberges autour de 14 euros/la nuit (je parle des prix en basse saison).<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">La plupart de ces endroits ont des piscines. Et même si vous
ne trouvez rien avec piscine, il y a de nombreux beach clubs avec piscine un
peu partout donc ne vous inquiétez pas (+ vous avez la plage).<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

discover the island: The best way to visit Santorini is with a scooter. It’s
very nice! You can also rent a car and take the bus. The bus is at 1.80-2euros
on way and it goes everywhere. Another reason to stay in Fira, it’s a lot
easier to catch the bus and come back to your place easily.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

le scooter est le meilleur moyen de découvrir l’île, mais le bus est le plus
économique. Vous pouvez louer un scooter pour un jour ou deux pour aller dans
des coins où le bus ne va pas et le reste du temps prendre les transports en
commun. Le bus coûte 1.8-2euros (en fonction d’où vous allez). Tous les bus

absolutely love Greek food and it’s becoming my favorite cuisine. Everything is
tasty and feels like your mom made it. I only went to normal restaurants so
prices were decent. In Oia you pay for the view. A pastry would cost 3 euros
for a take away, but 7 euros if you eat inside. That’s a bit crazy but this is
how it works there. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

grocery shopping expensive in Fira but they have plenty of affordable bakeries

villages and you can buy per kilo.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The best
things in life are free right ?! You have many wonderful beaches in Santorini.
From the Black beach, to the Red one. They are all mind blowing. Take time to
explore your surroundings. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was
disappointed by the black beach at first but once I took the time to look
around, it became wonderful. It’s dark but once you look closer you see plenty
of colors around you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The red
beach is incredible. You will have to hike a little bit to access the beach so
wear proper shoes and don’t go there with flip flops (don’t be like me).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The White
beach is accessible only by boat once you are on the Red beach. Every 10 mins
or so a boat comes and asks you for a ride. I didn’t take it so I can’t tell
how much it is but it should not be expensive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I was
during my research, I found an article from one blogger saying that you
should avoid cruises. I did a boat cruise last year in Rhodes and loved it. I usually follow recommendations from other bloggers but this time I went against their recommendations and booked
two boat trips.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first
one was The Volcano boat tour. It lasts 7 hours. The cruising company picks you
up early in the morning and takes you to the boat. If your budget is really
tight do this one. I paid 40 euros and it was worth every penny. Everything was
wonderful and the guides friendly. We stopped on the Volcano island of Kameni.
The view you get from the island is incredible. I can’t believe I had the
chance to see that. However, don’t get your expectations too high when it comes
to the Volcano itself. You won’t see lava or anything like that. (You have to
add 2 euros for this activity.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After that,
the next stop is the Hot Springs. You get a chance to swim in the sulfur water.
The sulfur contained in the water is supposed to smooth your skin but I didn’t
see a difference. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the
dip, the boat gets you to Thirassia island, where you can swim and grab lunch.
You have plenty of restaurants on the beach and the view is insane, I repeat:
insane.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">La première étape se fait sur l’île volcanique de Kameni
(pensez à ramener 2euros pour avoir accès à l’île). Bon, ne vous attendez pas à
voir de la larve de partout mais la vue est incroyable.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Après ça, le bateau s’arrête aux sources d’eau chaude et
vous pouvez nager pendant 30 mins. Pensez à porter des vieux maillots de bain.
Le souffre contenu dans l’eau est apparemment bon pour la peau mais ça abîme
les vêtements.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

the week, I did the sunset cruise. This one was a lot more expensive but I
wanted to do both so that I could share this experience on the blog. If you
want a wonderful cruise and have a bit of money do this one. It was even better

you up at your place, and take you to the boat. Everything is included in the

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We stopped

I needed to be physically active as well as emotionally. I had zero level of fitness and I was not eating a lot of healthy stuff (and didn't really care). Today I live a healthier life and I love taking care of my body with good food and physical activity. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>I'm not writing this article to tell you that you should work out even on holiday.I personally do it because I enjoy it and I think that it's an amazing way to interact with locals and discover the city I am in.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i> If I go on a weekend getaway I won't workout because my time is very limited and I'll be busy visiting as much as possible.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>At home I do strength training at the gym but on vacation I do light stuff (running, swimming..) and I only use my bodyweight.</i></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Exercising brings me happiness, mental and physical strength as well as self confidence.I also encourage you to diversify your activities and find complimentary things in life that will also give self confidence and make you realize your worth, like <a href="http://studentsntravelers.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/perfect-destinations-for-first-solo.html" target="_blank">solo travel</a> for example. </span></i><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>With this being said, I am aware of the fact that we all work out for various reasons and we all have our own fitness goals, but I thought that I would share with you how I manage to stay active while being on the road as it is a little challenging (I see every day of work out like a victory).</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>At home I eat clean most of the time so that when I go out/travel I can enjoy less healthy food without compromising my fitness goal and still be social. I don't stress about the food I eat because life is too short and having a balanced life is crucial for your sanity. On the road, if I go grocery shopping, I'll buy the same things I would buy at home (easy/quick things to cook). Traveling is a way to discover new food so I usually go to restaurants more than usual and I eat all the things I've never tried before (healthy food and non-healthy stuff). I think that you should enjoy your meals and yourself.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The only thing I try to implement is going to local restaurants because I consider that Mc Donald does not need my money and I prefer to help locals instead.</i></span><br />

<i>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But please, don't feel guilty because you didn't work out or ate "too much". It doesn't define how amazing you are and your gains won't disappear in three days. </span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A la maison je mange principalement des trucs sains et je garde les trucs qui ne rentrent pas dans ma diète pour mes sorties entre amis. C'est manière à moi d'équilibrer mes repas et ma vie (mais chacun fait comme il veut). En voyage c'est pareil, si je fais les courses, je vais acheter des trucs qui je mange à la maison. Ceci dit, je vais beaucoup plus souvent au resto, parce que j'ai la flemme de faire à manger et j'adore découvrir de nouveaux plats (sains ou pas). La seule chose que j'évite c'est les chaînes. Je considère que Mc do et compagnie n'ont pas besoin de mon argent et je préfère aider un commerce local.</span><br />

<div class="p1">
<i><br />Kuta c'est le paradis de touristes et je peux comprendre pourquoi (soirée à gogo, shopping à gogo, plage à gogo...), mais ca ne résume pas l'Indonesie. Je vous invite vraiment à vous perdre un peu et à visiter d'autres coins de l'Ile.</i></div>

<b>Do’s: Respect the culture/<i>A faire:Respecter la culture</i></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<br />There are several sacred places scattered all over the island’s nook and corner. Sacred spots can be a huge tree, a garden or even a section of the beach can be sacred. Please be thoughtful when visiting these places. Wear appropriate attire when visiting the temples and make sure that you are capable of following the rules.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<i><br />Il y a beaucoup de choses sacrées en Indonésie (qui ne seraient pas forcément considérées comme étant sacrées en Occident). Un arbre ou un jardin peuvent être sacrés, ou même un bout de la plage. Merci de respecter les lieux. Pensez à vous couvrir un peu si vous visitez les temples.</i></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /><b>Do’s: pre-cautious for buying things/<i>A faire: se méfier quand on fait du shopping</i></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<br />Bali can be an intricate place for buying/purchasing goods or services. First thing for sure, you will find the price gap is quite obvious between locals and tourists. If you are a smart negotiator this is the place where you can put everything into practice or you can avoid certain places to buy things at a decent price.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br />Bali is one of the most gorgeous places in the entire world (okay, I'm Indonesian but still :p). It can be touristy sometimes but surely if you find the right place and the right crowd, you will find the best time of your life.</div>

My trips in the city never exceeded 2-3 days. Then, I had the opportunity to move here for work and now I am a Londoner. Living here makes me realize that there really is a huge difference between travelling to a place and living there. While I still have a lot to learn about the British culture, there are a few things I noticed while living here that I didn't know before.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Avant de m'installer à Londres, j'étais déjà venu ici 3-4 fois le temps d'un week end. Mais vivre ici m'a permis de réaliser qu'il y avait une énorme différence entre vivre quelque part et visiter un endroit en tant que touriste. J'ai encore pas mal de choses à apprendre, mais je me suis dit que j'allais partager avec vous des petits trucs qui me marquent ici.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>1)The public transport/Les transports en commun</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In my first article about London last summer, I told you guys that you should get an oyster card. While it is a great option to use public transport, it is really expensive if you use it often. A return trip costs £5... and fares are even more expensive during the rush hour... You just end up topping your card up every five minutes and I'm clearly not too happy about it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dans l'article que j'avais écrit cet été sur Londres, je vous disais de prendre une oyster card. C'est vrai que c'est la meilleure option pour se balader ici, mais mis bout à bout c'est cher! Un aller retour coûte 5pounds et c'est même plus cher pendant les heures de pointe... Du coup on est tous là à recharger nos cartes de transport toutes les 5 minutes.</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>2)Finding a day job/Trouver un job alimentaire</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am comparing with France, but day jobs seem easier to find here in London than Paris for example. Many of my friends found jobs and flats in less than 2 weeks. While finding this jobs seems a bit easier than France, you can also get fired easily. This point and the one above make me realize how liberal the country is. You get paid per week so they don't have to wait for the end of the month to fire you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Je compare avec Paris mais ici trouver un job alimentaire est bien plus facile et rapide (même en ayant peu/pas d'expérience). Certains de mes amis ont trouvé en très peu de temps. Bon, après c'est mal payé et on vous vire facilement aussi. Mais ici on vous laisse une chance de prouver ce qe vous pouvez apporter à l'entreprise. Par contre ne vous étonnez pas si votre période d'essai n'est pas payée...</span></i><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>3)The food is not that expensive/La nourriture n'est pas méga chère</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rents, public transport are expensive, but grocery shopping is okay (again, I'm comparing with France). Furthermore, there are plenty of restaurants serving healthy foods and I can't wait to try them all.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Une fois de plus je compare avec la France mais je trouve que les prix niveau nourriture sont plus ou moins similaires si je compare mes paniers de course. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ici il y a bien plus de restaurants qui proposent de la nourriture saine, et c'est pas beaucoup plus cher que les autres types de restos.</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>4)Londoners are active/Les gens sont sportifs</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I don't know if it is because I live in a wealthy area or because summer is coming, but Londoners exercise a lot! There are always a bunch of people running or biking. And I love that!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Je sais pas si c'est parce que j'habite dans un quartier aisé, ou si c'est parce que l'été arrive, mais les gens font beaucoup de sport ici. </span></i><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>5)The diversity/La diversité</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every borough is unique and has different vibes. People know how to dress and I just feel like there is the Fashion Week all the time. I love the fact that here you can dress like you feel like dressing. I find the people lovely, easy to approach and respectful (for a big city).</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I feel like there are more foreigners than British people here. Seriously, I hear more French, Spanish and Italian than English on the streets. When I end up meeting a born and raised Londoner, I am like "no way!". I love the fact that I can go to a Jamaican restaurant one day, Hungarian the other day or Italian on the following day. The good part is that every one is a Londoner. It doesn't matter where you come from, there is a piece of London for everyone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">J'ai fini par réaliser à quel point la ville était cosmopolite. Il y a plus d'expats que de locaux. Quand je rencontre quelqu'un qui est né à Londres, je suis juste étonnée tellement c'est rare!</span></i><br />

<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know that eating healthy can be expensive but it becomes cheaper if you focus on food that will make you feel full longer and will give you real nutrients. If you quit/reduce your consumption of unhealthy food (and meat!), you actually have more money for real food. Think about oatmeal for breakfast and lemon and water instead of sodas for example. Eat complex carbs as much as you can and focus on eggs. Fruits will also make you feel fuller than processed foods that are full of refined sugar. Always have healthy snacks with you so you don't rush on the first vending machine for a Mars bar. Nuts are amazing to keep you full until your next meal.</span></i></div>

This is because I mostly use youtube videos and I work out with my bodyweight and dumbells. I mostly work out with fitness blender as they have full length videos for strength training. I also go sprinting or swimming on cardio days. You can quit the fitness club if you plan on going on a long trip and join it again later when you won't need to save this much (I know that nothing beats the gym).</i></span><br />

Pour la plupart d'entre nous c'est malheureusement faux.Prenez vraiment l'habitude de garder sur votre compte courant que ce que vous avez besoin pour le mois et virez le reste en épargne.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mon road trip sur la Garden Route en Afrique du Sud a été le voyage le moins préparé que j'ai fait jusqu'à présent. C'était un super trip et j'ai retenu plein de leçons que je partage avec vous aujourd'hui. Dans cet article, je vous dis comment organiser un voyage avec vos amis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>1) Find friends you truly trust and know that they can commit/Assurez-vous que vos amis soient vraiment motivés et prêts à s'engager:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is nothing more disappointing than canceling a trip because at the end no one has the money or the time to travel. So before booking anything, talk with your friends and see who is available and when. Make sure everyone knows exactly when their school year will be over (including resits) and the time frame of those who have a summer job and so on. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bear in mind that it doesn't have to be a one month trip to be great, even a four day trip can be amazing, believe me. You don't need to go too far either. </span></i><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Il n'y a rien de plus décevant qu'annuler un voyage parce qu'au final personne n'a le temps ni l'argent. Avant de réserver quoique ce soit, discutez entre vous pour savoir qui est vraiment disponible et quand (dates des partiels, dates des rattrapages, date de début/fin du job d'été etc.). Pas besoin de partir un mois à l'autre bout du monde, une semaine dans le sud peut être tout aussi cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>2) Discuss the budget/Parlez du budget:</b></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I said before, it doesn't have to be a one month trip to be amazing. If you guys can only afford a 3 day trip, go for it! </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, money is an important factor here as not everyone has the same budget or is willing to pay the same price for the same thing. Maybe you prefer staying at backpackers because it's cheaper for you and your friends are more into hotels with a private bathroom... Well, you can stay at a backpackers and meet your friends later. During my garden route road trip we didn't all stay at the same backpackers as there were not enough places for everyone And it didn't matter. We were meeting up in the morning for our daily activities and were gathering at each other backpackers for dinner.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Le budget de chacun est important parce que tout le monde n'est pas prêt à payer le même montant pour le même produit/service. Vous préférez peut être aller en auberge alors que vos amis préfèrent l'hôtel... N'hésitez pas à diviser le groupe. Ceux qui veulent aller à l'hôtel peuvent y aller pendant que les autres sont à l'auberge. Tant que vous êtes pas trop loin les uns des autres, ça ne devrait pas poser de problème. Vous pourrez toujours passer vos journées ensemble.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>3) Be ready to arg for irrelevant things/préparez vous à vous disputer pour des trucs débiles:</b></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Being with the same people 24/7 can be overwhelming especially if it's the first time you spend a long amount of time with them. There are little arguments that might come up and that's fine. Don't take it too personally. Remember, you are here to enjoy life with your friends. When there is a problem, talk about it, resolve it and move on.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Des tensions peuvent subvenir au sein du groupe et franchement vous prenez pas trop la tête là-dessus. Ne pas être content parce qu'un tel a fait ça ou dit ça est la chose la plus normale au monde. Discutez du problème, réglez-le et continuez à vous amuser.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>4) Give others some space/Laissez-vous respirer:</b></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although you are travelling together, it doesn't mean that you guys have to literally be together 24/7 . Maybe one of your friends needs some time to meditate, listen to some music, work out... Give him some space!</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">C'est pas parce que vous voyagez ensemble que vous devez être les uns sur les autres. Pas besoin de se coller 24h sur 24. S'il y en a un qui veut aller faire du sport, méditer, ou écouter de la musique, laissez-le tranquille.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>5) Discuss the kind of activities that everyone wants to do/Parlez des activités que chacun veut faire:</b></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Communication is key in life. Know what everyone has in mind. Maybe you want to club all night long and your friends are more into sightseeing... Well, don't be upset if the whole group is not into what you want to do. Take the ones who want to go hiking with you while the others are going to the beach for example. Again, you don't have to be all together 24/7. Always meet people half way as long as everyone is happy at the end.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">On vous le dira jamais assez mais la communication c'est vraiment la clé. Parlez des centres d'intérêt de chacun. Peut être qu'une partie du groupe a envie de faire la tournée des bars et les autres préfèrent un diner à la maison et faire les musées le lendemain... N'hésitez pas à faire des groupes. Vous vous retrouverez à la fin de vos activités respectives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>6)Make a planning for the chores/Partagez-vous les tâches ménagères de façon claire:</b></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Discussing the chores can be important if you guys rent a flat. Maybe one prefers to clean the dishes instead of going grocery shopping. Make sure everyone voices what he is willing to do.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Savoir qui fait quoi va diminuer les chances de se disputer à propos de petits trucs. Peut-être que vous préférez passer l'aspi au lieu de faire la vaisselle. Faites-le savoir à votre groupe.</span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First of all, you have to book your ticket in advance if you want to go there, they don't sell entrance tickets on-site. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>Tip</strong> : If you live in Iceland and have a kennitala (an Icelandic security social number) you can have a discount so don't forget to ask for it !</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><em>Tout d'abord, vous devez réserver votre billet d'entrée en avance puisqu'il n'est pas possible de l'acheter sur place. </em></span></div>

</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;">The ticket entrance is expensive for sure, but after being there, I promise that it's worth it ! I went for the standard entrance ticket (40€ in winter - 50€ in summer) but you can also choose a package including towels, a drink, a massage, etc. depending on how much you are willing to pay. </span><a href="http://www.bluelagoon.com/blue-lagoon-spa/prices-and-packages/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Visit their website</span></a><span style="color: black;"> to have all the prices.</span></span></div>

J'ai choisi le tarif standard qui ne donne droit qu'au billet d'entrée (40€ en hiver - 50€ en été) mais vous pouvez aussi opter pour des packs incluant des serviettes, des <span style="color: #666666;">produits de beauté, un massage, une boisson, etc. selon le prix que vous êtes prêts à payer. </span><a href="http://www.bluelagoon.com/blue-lagoon-spa/prices-and-packages/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">Visitez leur site internet</span></a><span style="color: #666666;"> pour avoir le détails des tarifs.</span></em></span></div>

</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;">To get to the Blue Lagoon, you can either use your car if you have one, or book a bus transfer from Reykajvik or from the airport with </span><a href="https://www.re.is/day-tours/blue-lagoon-no-entry" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Reykjavik Excursions</span></a><span style="color: black;">.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once you get there - somewhere in the middle of nowhere - you will have a queue. Blue lagoon is a very touristic attraction so there are a lot of people, no matter the day or the season.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><em><span style="color: #666666;">Pour vous rendre au Blue Lagoon, vous avez deux solutions : soit vous y allez avec votre voiture si vous en avez une, soit vous réservez un bus affrété depuis Reykjavik ou depuis l'aéroport via </span></em><a href="https://www.re.is/day-tours/blue-lagoon-no-entry" target="_blank"><em><span style="color: #666666;">Reykjavik Excursions</span></em></a><em><span style="color: #666666;">.</span></em></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><em>Une fois arrivé là bas - au beau milieu de nul part - vous allez devoir faire un peu de queue. Le Blue Lagoon est un endroit très touristique et fréquenté quelque soit le jour et la saison.</em></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then, you will have to get changed and take a shower. The changing rooms are clean and big which is very comfortable. There are private shower rooms if you don't feel comfortable enough to take a shower nacked in front of strangers or in front of your friends (In Iceland, before going to any kind of swimming pool, you have to take a shower without your swim suit).</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><em>Ensuite, vous allez vous changer et prendre une douche. Les espaces pour se changer sont très propres et grands, ce qui est plutôt agréable. Et il y a quelques douches privées avec une porte si vous n'êtes pas assez à l'aise pour prendre votre douche nu devant des inconnus ou devant vos amis (En Islande, avant d'aller se baigner, il est toujours obligatoire de prendre une douche sans son maillot).</em></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia";">Finally, you can enter the infamous milky blue water full of silica. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia";">Don't stay near the entrance, it is pretty crowded (as you can see on my picture). You'd better off explore the entire pool. It is massive and there are a lot of corners that are completely empty. Feeling alone while you are floating in that milky hot water is the best way to enjoy your Blue Lagoon experience !</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><em>Et enfin, vous pouvez entrer dans l'eau laiteuse si célèbre et que l'on voit sur toutes les photos.</em></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><em>Ne restez pas près du bord (il y a beaucoup de monde comme vous pouvez le voir sur ma photo). Allez plutôt vous aventurer plus loin dans le bassin. Il est très grand et il a de nombreux endroits qui sont vides. Etre loin de la foule et se sentir seul au monde en flottant dans l'eau chaude et laiteuse, c'est le meilleur moyen de profiter du Blue Lagoon !</em></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can apply a silica mask as the geothermal area from where the water comes is full of silica. You will find many trays full of silica around the pool, you just have to grab some and apply it on your skin. I was unsure of the benefits of this facial mask but my skin was pretty smooth afterwards. I renewed the experience twice to be sure that I wasn't tripping.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia";">During that relaxing day, you can also enjoy the bar that is situated in the middle of the pool, a sauna and a water jet that is perfect if you don't have enough money for a massage.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><em>Vous pouvez vous appliquer un masque de silice grâce aux nombreux bacs plein de cette matière gluante aux différents rebords du bassin. Je n'étais pas persuadée que les effets présumés de ce masque étaient vrais, je n'avais donc pas de grandes attentes en l'appliquant mais en rinçant mon visage, ma peau était toute douce. J'étais tellement étonnée que je me suis fait un deuxième masque, juste pour être sûre que je n'étais pas en train de fantasmer les effets.</em></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia";"><em>Enfin, pour profiter pleinement de l'expérience, vous pouvez également prendre un verre au bar qui situe en plein milieu du bassin, aller dans le sauna, ou vous faire masser par les puissants jets d'eau (à défaut d'avoir les moyens de se payer un vrai massage).</em></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have you ever wondered who are the Catalans? Perhaps what deliberately cross your thoughts were the people that have the humongous urge to be independent of Spain, or conceivably their authentic <i>white sausages </i>served upon infamous Catalonian wines (stereotypes you say?!). </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's quite essential to be aware of this particular direction if you want to visit and to know more in-depth of Barcelona or other Catalonia territories. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Mais la culture catalane est bien plus complexe que ça, c'est pourquoi j'ai eu l'idée de rédiger cet article pour partager avec vous ce que je sais sur la culture catalane.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had several issues of understanding the differences between the Spanish and Catalan people when I arrived in Barcelona.

Le marigae du Roi Ferdinand d'Aragon avec la Reine Isabella de Castile a incité les deux territoires à s'unir et à créer l'Espagne que nous connaissons aujourd'hui. Jusqu'au 19e siècle, la Catalogne souhaitait son indépendance. </span></span><br />

Barcelone c'est la ville que tout le monde aime et pour cause: des monuments splendides, l'Art Nouveau, des parcs plein de surprises, la mer, le soleil...<br />
Je me suis fait une petite escapade à Barcelone avec Eunice et je partage avec vous les immanquables de la ville.<br />
<br />
La ville n'est pas très grande et se visite très bien à pied! Je vous recommande le pass de 10 voyages au lieu du pass journée puisque la ville se visite très bien à pied! Les auberges ne sont pas chères du tout (surtout en basse saison).</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>The good/les points positifs</u>: <i>Traveling on my own is not something I had ever considered a few years back. Actually, doing anything considered as a social activity alone wasn't any of my interest a few years back. While in high school eating alone meant being a nerd with no friend, I discovered that I actually enjoy eating alone thanks to my first part time job. No clients to attend, no colleagues to entertain... just me and my meal. It is really not an issue for me to go to the restaurant alone, to go shopping alone and to travel alone. I learnt so many things on myself and waiting for no one to travel with me made me discover amazing places and meet amazing people. I am so inspired by my friends who had traveled alone before me and encouraged me to step into greatness!/ </i><span style="color: #444444;">Voyager seule ne m'avait jamais effleuré l'esprit il y a quelques années. En fait, faire quoique ce soit seule ne m'avait jamais effleuré l'esprit: manger seule au resto, faire du shopping, aller au musée... Au lycée, manger seule voulait dire être asociale, mais j'ai découvert que j'aimais ça au cours de mon premier job étudiant. Pouvoir me couper du travail, des clients, des collègues qui allaient me parler boulot me reposait. Voyager seule m'a appris tellement de choses sur moi-même et surtout à être INDEPENDANTE. </span></span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ne vous faites pas avoir par les marketeurs. Je me souviens avoir fait les courses avec une amie et elle choisisait ses produits en fonction de la beauté du packaging... Certaines marques sont meilleures que d'autres, je le conçois très bien mais je vous conseille quand même d'essayer la marque de distributeur (bien moins chère) pour vous faire un avis, vous pourriez être surpris./<i><span style="color: #444444;">I went grocery shopping with a friend of mine once and she was buying items having beautiful packaging only...Don't let marketing people fool you. I am fully aware of the fact that some brands are better than store brands, but you should try the cheap products and check for yourself if it tastes different (most of the time it doesn't!).</span></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Regardez le prix au kg pour éviter les fausses promos. /<span style="color: #444444;"><i>Check the price per kg, you will be surprised.</i></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Devenez végétarien ou réduisez votre consommation de viande. On a tendance à croire que si on arrête la viande on aura moins d'apport en protéines mais c'est tout le contraire, ça va même tripler si on compense avec les légumes et les fruits secs./<i><span style="color: #444444;">Become a vegetarian or reduce your meat consumption. We tend to think that if we stop eating meat, we won't fulfill our protein needs, but the opposite actually happens. By eating more vegetables yo</span></i><span style="color: #444444;"><i>u will triple your intakes!</i> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Remplacez la viande par les oeufs pour des apports en protéines. C'est bien moins cher et ça prend deux secondes à cuire. (oui je suis une flemmarde)/ <i><span style="color: #444444;">If you need a lot of protein intakes, you can also trade meat with eggs. Those are cheaper and quicker to cook.</span></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Buvez plus d'eau (inutile d'acheter de l'eau en bouteille, l'eau du robinet est bonne et vous éviterez le plastique) et réduisez votre consommation de sodas. /<i><span style="color: #444444;">Drink more water and no need to buy it in a plastic bottle.

Those shimmering lights, massive skyscrapers and 24 hours of hustle and bustle always find a way to cheer me up in every season. Rotterdam is the second biggest city of The Netherlands. This city almost vanished on the map due to severe Nazi bombing during WWII. Nowadays, it thrives with its modern architecture and energetic culture.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>So, what are the reasons why you should live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands? </i><br />
<br />
Ca va faire un an que j'habite à Rotterdam et j'adore cette ville. Rotterdam c'est des gratte-ciels à perte de vue et une vie animée 24/24. C'est aussi la deuxième plus grande ville des Pays-Bas. La ville a failli disparaître pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale à cause des bombardements. Aujourd'hui, c'est une ville pleine d'énergie à l'architecture moderne.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<b><u>Reason number 5: Its strategic location</u></b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Rotterdam is the most strategic city in The Netherlands to live in. You can have 24 hours train service to big cities such as Amsterdam, Den Haag or Leiden. The airport is not too far and Rotterdam Centraal has international train connections to Antwerp, Brussels, Paris and even to German cities.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Rotterdam vous permet d'accéder aux autres grandes villes hollandaises. L'aéroport n'est pas trop excentré et vous avez également la possibilité d'aller à Anvers, à Bruxelles, Paris et dans des villes allemandes.<br />
<i><br /></i>

<b>Reason number 4: its architecture</b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>If you like modern architecture then why not live in Rotterdam? The city has a lot of modern-man made marvel to feast your eyes. Plus Rotterdam has plenty of skyscrapers compare to other cities in The Netherlands. This will please you if you are into modern architecture. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Traveling alone doesn't mean that you are a f*cking weirdo with no friends. I've said it already, I love my friends. However, I don't like waiting for ages because they are unsure on whether we will be traveling together. How many times did I cancel a trip because my friends "finally didn't have any money left", "found a job" or "didn't find anyone to stay with the cat" ?! I just decided that such things would not prevent me of traveling anymore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also, being with your friends doesn't mean that the trip will be awesome. Some friends can turn out to be the worst travel companion. Trust me.</span></div>

I've been to amazing places and have done some amazing things, but the highlights of my trips were always the people that I met along the road. I met those friends at backpackers, on couchsurfing, during my internships/studies abroad and/or by simply sharing my house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> It is easier to meet people when you travel on your own than with your squad. All the times where I didn't especially meet anyone where when I was with my friends and it makes sense actually. Why would you go out of your comfort zone when you are with your friends?! You already have someone to talk to, to exchange with and someone to help you out. Whereas when you are alone, you will ask people at your backpackers if they know where the best place to have gelatos is or if they want to visit a part of the city with you. And bam! You have a new companion now.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><br />

<i><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The USA is another great country to visit as everyone is so friendly! I'm so amazed by how easily Americans can talk to you without knowing you. Salesmen usually ask you how you doing when you enter their shop (which is unusual for me as I am from France and we definitely don't do that -Much to my disappointment).</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Je recommande également les Etats-Unis pour un premier voyage solo.

is not something usual or encouraged, and that we tend to be cold to strangers. But let me tell you something, once you get out of your comfort zone, you will
realize that the world is amazing and some strangers can be nicer to you than
people you know.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">J'ai beau adorer voyager avec mes amis, j'aime aussi partir seule. Quand je dis "partir seule", pour moi ça veut seulement dire "prendre l'avion seule". En effet, ce n'est pas parce que ta meilleure pote n'est pas avec toi que tu ne vas rencontrer personne. C'est tout le contraire. C'est beaucoup plus facile de rencontrer du monde quand on part seul qu'accompagné. Tu restes pas avec ta bande et tu vas vers l'autre. Je sais qu'en France parler aux inconnus n'est pas monnaie courante et qu'on a tendance à être froid tant qu'on a pas été officiellement présenté mais je vais vous dire une chose: une fois qu'on sort de notre zone de confort, on se rend compte que les gens ont un bon fond et que certains inconnus peuvent nous aider comme personne.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Dernier conseil : proposez des choses, prenez des initiatives ! Beaucoup de voyageurs sont dans la même situation que vous. Ils veulent rencontrer des gens, faire des excursions, des road trips mais n'osent rien proposer ou aller vers les autres de peur de les déranger. Or si tout le monde reste dans cette situation, rien ne se passe. Proposez et vous verrez que des personnes vous suivront !</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ceci dit, si on vous dit non une fois, ça ne veut pas dire que la personne ne veut pas faire votre connaissance. Elle a sans doute autre chose de prévu. Réessayez plus tard. Si on vous dit non une seconde fois, laissez tomber. Pas besoin de courir après les gens qui ne vous relancent pas. D'autres personnes incroyables vous attendent.</span><br />

vos expériences comptent. C’est pas parce que ce n’était pas un
« véritable job » que vous ne devez pas le mettre en avant. Organiser
un événement pour votre fac compte ! Et oui, vous avez appris à travailler
en équipe, à gérer votre stress, et à amasser la foule. </span><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

even if it does not look like a proper work. You’ve probably organized a
school event and yes, it helped you to multitask. Don’t only
highlight what you’ve done while having a manager on your back. Even a trip
abroad can be added on a CV.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Jakarta has everything you need, from 5 star hotels to the cheapest place to sleep ever. When I said cheapest I really mean it. You can actually spend 0 euro (which is obvious by couch-surfing) or by using AirBnB or Motels (The starting price is +/- 8 euros).</i></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Avoid places that are far away from the city center if you don't want to be stuck in massive traffic jams. As being an insider, I would recommend travelers to stay near the city center in areas such as</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Sudirman, Senopati, Menteng, Senayan Kemang and Kuningan. These areas are near shopping centers, cafes, restaurants, museums, clubs, bars and landmarks. </span></span></i><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>But if you want to explore more of the other part of the city you can stay in The Thousands Islands, Ancol or Bogor.</i></span><br />

French and English are both spoken there, so speaking French was easier and faster for me, I was thinking that speaking English where everyone could speak French didn't make sense.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A la fin de mes 2 années d'études en France, j'ai ressenti le besoin d'améliorer mon anglais. Pas seulement pour mon futur travail mais aussi parce que j'étais frustrée de ne pas avoir un meilleur niveau. J'ai séjourné à Montréal pendant 2 mois et je n'ai pas progressé puisque je n'ai pas fait l'effort de parler anglais sachant que le français y est également parlé. Après ce voyage, j'ai décidé d'aller au Pays-bas pour étudier en anglais. Les premières semaines n'étaient pas évidentes pour moi. Même si je comprenais tout ce qu'on me disait, j'osais pas. J'osais pas parler anglais devant les hollandais ou les allemands qui parlaient bien mieux que moi!J'ai fini par prendre mon courage a deux mains et au bout de deux mois j'étais capable de m'exprimer comme mes camarades de classe.</span><br />

Try to listen to all of them and find out which one is the easiest for you! <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Quand j'ai commencé à (ré)apprendre l'espagnol (j'ai tout oublié après le lycée), je me suis rendu compte que je comprenais plus facilement l'accent mexicain que l'accent espagnol. J'ai donc commencé à regarder des films mexicains. Au bout de deux mois j'étais capable de comprendre la plupart des accents.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Essayez donc d'écouter différents accents pour voir celui qui vous semble le plus facile à comprendre.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">N'apprenez pas de manière scolaire en restant accroché à vos livres de grammaire. En fait, vous regarderez votre livre que quand vous serez à l'aise avec la langue. Commencez à regarder des dessins animés pour enfants puisque le langage y est simplifié ( à vous les Disney!). Ensuite, vous pourrez vous attaquer aux séries drôles puisqu'ils parlent lentement pour que les blagues soient faciles à comprendre.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">RETIREZ LES SOUS-TITRES! Au début vous aurez l'impression de ne rien comprendre mais je peux vous assurer que vous verrez vos progrès très très rapidement.</span><br />
