About

Nine (soon to be 10!!!) years in Guadeloupe... between paradise and hell... Paradise because the weather is always nice (or almost!), the beaches, the rivers, the nature is marvelous and the people warmer than at home, but hell because it's always TOO hot lately, the lack of supplies, the dirt, the insects, the cost of living too expensive when you're a large family, the strikes of course (even if it's for a good cause sometimes!) which ultimately never change anything...
Interests: peinture, , jardinage, écriture...., lecture

My expat journey

St François, Guadeloupe

Aug 2003 - Aug 2003

St François, Guadeloupe

Oulàlàà... lots of things but it takes time and money like everything... a house of our own to start...
Nobody wants it! sniff sniff... after years of being a "manager" I wanted to do what I loved (psychoanalysis and makeovers - more moral than physical because one leads to the other, that's well known)... but no one seems to be too keen on what I love... too bad! my time will come...
The fact that it has a lot of things not too far away: beaches, shops, good schools... too bad it's a little too "elitist" sometimes...

Blah blah... the projects having come to nothing more than that... what's the point of dwelling on it eh?
I didn't like it: I did secretarial work to please mom and dad! I wanted to be a doctor of the soul or an art historian...
Frankly ? I'm still looking... oh yes! the food!!!
everything: the weather, the people, the politics: small country, small spirit!!!!
