About

I am French, after spending 3 years in Belgium I followed my Beninese husband to Benin. Since 2009, I have lived in Cotonou. I really like it there, it's impossible for me to return to a European life. Since I have been here, I have been much less stressed, I have taken life as it comes. On this site, I am here to help you as best I can with my few years of experience. Do not hesitate to ask any questions via the forum, via private messaging. Welcome to Benin.
Interests: , partager avec les autres.

Occupation

I am Employed.

My expat journey

francebelgiumbenin
Cotonou, Benin

Since Apr 2009

Cotonou, Benin

becoming rich is our goal. I have lots of projects that I will implement or not, the future will tell us.
since I have been here I have been in charge of a supermarket, I have trained in hairdressing (failure is not my thing), I have worked at the consulate and the French Embassy, ​​I have been a steward. I've even been in sales but now I'm really bad. Currently I am looking for work, I dream of a position as an executive assistant, or any other administrative position.
dreams are achievable. I don't stress as much as before. I have a future that is not mapped out: metro work sleep. the Beninese people and their welcome, their kindness.
the damned electricity and water cuts. the desire to make this Benin and these Beninese move without ever succeeding. the Bretons are stubborn but the Beninese have the palme d'or.

Brussels, Belgium

Sept 2006 - Mar 2009

Brussels, Belgium

great, I really like living in Brussels.
I worked in a bank, I loved it. The job for which I had applied in France without any success, Belgium offered it to me on a platter with the added bonus of rapid development.
life with always something to do, free concerts, exhibitions, etc. the people I met who are wonderful.
I lived on the 3rd floor in the attic. and my 2 burglaries in Charleroi

Rennes, France

Jul 1984 - Sept 2006

Rennes, France

from my birth until the day when, on a whim, I left to join my boyfriend in Belgium.
BTS in accounting and agricultural management, then odd jobs at the food factory. The good life is why I left without any regrets.
life in the countryside, my horses, the dog, walks in the forests...
the impossibility of changing your life, once you have made a choice you can no longer change it otherwise you are unstable or not competent. life elsewhere proved me wrong. You are asked at 15 to choose your job, your studies. I didn't think that my choice since I was 7 was not the right one, except once I started the second year, when I wanted to change that each time and was refused. When I wanted to find work outside the agricultural sector I ended up in the factory.
