Changing Scenes


After being conscious with how my English skills are starting to deteriorate here in France, I started making an effort to use it more and I believe it is all coming back to me now. Lately, I have also had more time (not to mention more space!) for myself. We found a charming appartment in Paris, owned by an artist, and so far living here has been therapeutic.

From time to time, I ask myself why I am here instead of Canada, and why I was given this opportunity. Lately, I am more convinced that everything does happen for a purpose, and even chance encounters are not just mere coincidences.

Meanwhile, I do get to enjoy my life here from time to time, despite having so little to live with. It is still a great feeling to be in an adventure and knowing that you are able to survive---so far! I do recognize that apart from my friends and kind-hearted indiviuals who lend a helping hand every now and then, someone up there is indeed watching over me. I have been taking care of my spiritual wellbeing by attending a Christian group's bible study and sunday worship services.

Pardon the sudden shift in this blog, initially I wanted a blog that would feature my travels and adventures in foreign land and albeit my intention to continue this path; I can't help but share my personal struggles and emotions in this one big adventure called life.

I do wish that as you read through the pages of this blog, and as I reread my own writing; you'll be able to relate to me and maybe also find this blog as a worthy escape from your own troubles.

I will be browsing through my personal collection of photos and maybe share with you some sights that I have visited in my last few months of stay here in France.
