"Make your life a dream and a dream a reality" - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Hello and Welcome to Maiitikaa's life! My name is Emilie, I'm a 25years old French blogger, with a passion for Travels, languages and TV shows.

I've lived in Paris Suburb my entire life in a town called Conflans Sainte Honorine (Capital of Skippers). And experience my first travel abroad at the age of 12, with my school in England.
The funny thing is, I was scared like hell to go on that trip, once I was there it changed everything! So thank you England... mostly London to make me love exploring and discovering new places and getting me rid of my fear to go abroad!

In here I write about everything I discovered during my travels...I love food, culture, and photography.


My dream? Explore the world to the end, every corner, every forest, every island...Hike, climb, dive, eat, explore, discover, I want to see everything!!



"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of LIFE" - Walter Mitty

WHY DID I START BLOGGING?

Well, let's go back to 2012...

On summer 2012 I graduated from high school and traveled with my two sisters to Australia for the holidays, we spent 5 weeks hitting the roads of Australia in our van like true travelers and that was the end (or the beginning) for me!
By the time we went home, I couldn't think of something else but to go back!

Still, I went back in line, I went to a school of international trade but didn't like it so I change it for university and start to learn languages and culture!

In 2014, I told myself that I had to go back, so I started working and in January 2015 I left everything to go on my own to Australia...on a WORKING HOLIDAY VISA!!

"It is our Choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our Abilities" - J.K Rowling

That's why I started this blog, to write about my adventures in this mysterious and wild country and to let my family and friends know that I didn't end up in a crocodile stomach or ate by a shark!

They weren't worried for long since my journey last less than 2 months! Some of you must have already read my first posts (sorry they're in French) so you know what happened!

To be quick, I didn't get along with my friends, and it was either go back to France or leave the main disturber in the middle of the desert...since I couldn't see myself truly alone at the time, we went home to Paris!

"If "plan A" didn't work, the Alphabet has 25 more letters! Stay Cool." -Unknown

Completely depressed from my failure to live abroad on my own, I left for England and then Scotland meeting a friend of mine...This trip was revealing, I could travel alone, sure I was meeting a friend but the feeling of taking the Eurostar alone, to take the bus to Nottingham alone...the feeling that I could actually handle myself was freeing! So I just started to travel more and more, with friends and some other person I didn't know the very first thing about...I haven't been to a country all alone yet, but it will happen!

"Make your life a masterpiece, imagine no limitations on what you can be or have or do." - Brian Tracy

I came back from Australia 3 years ago now and truthfully I've never traveled that much!

Finally, I don't regret that my WHV ended up so soon because otherwise, I would never have traveled to Scotland, Ireland, Morocco, Malta, Canary Islands, the United States, Iceland, and Canada...after all "Life's what happens to you while you're busy making other plans", isn't it?

I hope my blog is a place you'll be inspired to travel more, to change your plans even if it scares you, I've changed course so many times in my life, don't think that there's just one type of people who can travel the world!


Stay around...get inspired...leave a comment...read everything...go out and live...that's what matters!

Hope you'll have a great time on Maiitikaa's life and subscribe!
