Finding Home
11:00 PM
The past decade, I spent all my life looking for that perfect feeling of home. This quest motivated me to start traveling. At a tender age of 4 when I grew fascinated by a book that my Mom gave me, the fire in my heart to leave my country burned so bright. Somehow, I felt I didn't belong there. It is a beautiful country to see as a tourist, but at a young age I felt like an alien. I remember looking up at the night sky wondering if before we were born,we were given a choice, maybe there was a mistake. There was something missing. So this search for home and peace, wherever that may be, became a distant goal.

I have always been afraid of heights. I get vertigo while trekking along ravines and being on high places. However, when I learned of people doing sky dive at an early age, I promised myself that I have to do it one day. I have written "sky dive" as one of my "to do" list under my adventure wish list. Since then, every time I ride the airplane during business trips, I always look out the window and wonder how it feels like to jump out of it.
Passing Through

We chanced upon this beautiful and quiet village on our way to Salers. Much as my father in-law and husband wanted to drive on, my instinct asked me to stop. It was the happy tourists in the open dining area of this restaurant that pulled me to peek and walk around. A good stretch after a long drive and the possibility to inhale its charm were equally rewarding.
