Sedentary life takes too long :). We haven't been very active lately on the blog and for good reason: in a few months we hosted several conferences, Thomas found a new job and we moved to the other end of France!

For the past month, we have been working hard: things happened in January in our daily life as returning World Tourists.

Nous voilà revenu dans la vie sédentaire, la vie normale – je n’aime pas dire la “vie réelle” comme on l’entend parfois, parce que pour le coup, nous y avons été confronté à la réalité de notre planète, lors de notre voyage…

"So, was that good?" We have had this question often since our return. “Bah… uh… no?” are we tempted to respond ironically. Of course, our experience this year has been exceptional; but it is so hard to sum up in a few words! Sometimes so hard to share with people ...

That's it, it's the last week ... Monday, October 5, we leave the Paris region. But who is this new roommate for the last week? It’s Régis, Thomas’s childhood friend! It's great to be with a boyfriend, it's a bit of a party and it keeps us from thinking too much about the end that is approaching.

Our return to France gives us a first return shock. After a year in a bubble where we only catch snippets of what is being said, finding your mother tongue everywhere around you is a bit harsh ...
