When I was 20 years old, my idea of the future looked bright and safe: life in France, a French husband, 4 children, and probably a job I would enjoy (in moderation, I have always been terribly pragmatic) in Arts. But then, 20 years later, here I am living England, married with an Italian, 4 children (the one thing I stuck to!) and a CV covering at least 10 different jobs in all sectors. And the future still looks – relatively, if not for Global Warming, Terrorism, the European Crisis…- bright and safe. Why? Because in the process I have acquired 4 languages ( I learnt Spanish at school) which allow me to find a job in most places and live wherever I wish to, my husband and I still have much to share and discover from one another, my children are multilingual and consequently bright and inquisitive minds (more about the subject in my blog), and our life is never boring – even if not always easy!
