I naturally think that I am not good at anything. I am not good at competitive sports, not good at games and not good at negotiation. However, I tend to remind myself about taking a chance each time.

Finally, we cleared out the house. Everything is packed and heading to Paris and probably already in France by the time you read this post. Can’t imagine we manage to squeeze in all our belongings into the back of the truck. We will get reunited with them in roughly a week’s time. Thanks to all […]
