My expat journey

belgiumbelgiumvietnamcroatia
Vodice, Šibensko-Kniniska, Croatia

Since Dec 2015

Vodice, Šibensko-Kniniska, Croatia

A little peaceful retreat with sea, sun and a few friends.
Independence, freedom, landscapes, the sea, people, security, cleanliness.
So far, nothing, we'll see later.

Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa, Vietnam

Jan 2008 - Jun 2010

Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa, Vietnam

I mainly transported tourists across the country; I was organizing private car tours with a Vietnamese friend.
The climate, the sea, the quiet life, the people, the cuisine, the quality of life of a Westerner given the very low cost of living. I specify, from a Westerner, because the Vietnamese are poor. The fact that the country has a very young population, which is a guarantee of the future and emancipation.
The concreting of the coasts and the lack of interest in the environment. The tourist traps in big cities, the impossibility of trusting when it comes to money, even between blood brothers.

The cultural diversity, the university city, the 100 or so nationalities that we meet there every day and the friends who come, and sometimes leave, from the four corners of the world that we make there.
The galloping urbanization around the university campus attracts a category of “petty bourgeois” who have forgotten that they were once students.

Liège, Wallonia, Belgium

Sept 1959 - May 1986

Liège, Wallonia, Belgium

Liège: I grew up there, studied and got married there.
EVERYTHING except the climate.
The gradual invasion by a category of people that we would happily do without.
