living_places I was born and raised in Strasbourg (hometown), North Manchester College, Indiana, US (just for a year, I was only 7 years old. We were in the middle of nowhere, but had such a great time. Our nearest neighbours were cows), Redlands, California, US (for College), Berlin (Junior Year Abroad, i.e. the American version of the Erasmus programme), Toulouse (for my Masters, but also because my American origins stem from "l'Aveyron", in Southern France), Paris (just to see...), came back to Strasbourg (pour me ressourcer), off to Cracow (Erasmus... needed to get in touch with my Polish roots), then to Warsaw (Natolin rocks), stop over in Strasbourg, and finally Brussels, where I've stayed put for the past 3 years... /
