\nAfter these 3 photoshoots I thought it was time for something more personal… The number 3 reminds in my head. 3 years ago I was planning my trip to Madrid to catch up Lisa on her flight back to Munich for the proposal<\/em>. If you want to listen to whole story just come along for a coffee, I just love our story.
\nDuring these 3 years in the Netherlands so many things happened and a lot it still to expect in 2014 but living abroad is also facing a lot of questions and the first one is: where is Home?<\/p>\n

I have just come back from my small \u00ab\u00a0Tour de France\u00a0\u00bb and I must admit that being in France is always something special. I left France almost 7 years ago for Germany and I don’t regret it (I met Lisa in Munich..ahahaha) but I feel so relax back in France when I walk in the street and just hear people speaking French and see people as tall as I am (I am kind of a dwarf in Holland). I love being in Paris (just for a couple of days and not on a daily basis)\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\nI love discovering cities like Bordeaux and enjoying the French cuisine. I can\u00b4t help it but France is a piece of me. Being in France is so refreshing…\n<\/div>\n

But being one week without Lisa and Ketsia was at the end \u00ab\u00a0difficult\u00a0\u00bb. I met there really good friends, had a great time, but something was missing (How can you not miss a lovely wife like Lisa and a little princess like Ketsia..ahahaha). A common proverb says \u00ab\u00a0home is where the heart is\u00a0\u00bb. I know where my earthly home is and it is by them. For the moment it is the Netherlands, in the green heart of Holland but who knows how long? I don’t – at the end we are just \u00ab\u00a0foreigners and strangers on earth<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0.\n<\/div>\n

\nIf you are also an expat, I hope that you also know where your home is and make the better of your situation.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
