I've walked in the empty streets of occupied Hebron.
I've visited Lebanon and Syria when it was safe to go there (2005).
I've driven from Toulouse (my hometown in France) to Istanbul, Turkey.
I've visited Hawaii (not so common for a European!).
I've learnt Italian from scratch in Belgium, never actually lived in Italy.

Teach, Learn, Share
