Did you ever looked at your life and ask at yourself
"How on earth did I end up here ?! "
It's been almost a years since a came back from US ( story later ) and I'm even more lost than I was before I left ..
What to do with me life ?
Everybody ask me this question
" What are you good at ? "
How am I suppose to answer to that ?
- I good at laughing , partying with my friend and I'm EXCELLENT at doing nothing in bed ..
But sorry I'm not sure that a job ...
I'm at this age or half of my friend are to drank to answer at my text and the other half a pregnant and getting married .. And I'm like ..
" What I going to eat next ?! "
Speaking of food !!!
I love Easter .. Who doesn't ?! Chocolat everywhere , family réunion , godmother , godfather that you won't see again before your birthday or even next year ..
You take 3pounds even if yesterday you promise to yourself - Today I start a REAL diet-
" Belgian in the blood , Americain in the heart "

Nighty night ,
See you tomorrow little dreamers
The first time that a get up on a plane , I was 6 .. I juste got this little piece of work who 's my brother and my parent took my on a trip to Thailande for " catching up " for the time that the baby was asking ..
Since this trip , my bigest dream was to visit a least once every country in the world and to speak English .
Ho yeah , I forgot to tell but I speak French actually .. So I'm really soory about all the terrible grammatical mistake I probably do :/
So I traveled as musch as I could :
LONDON
With my class , was AMAZING and RAINY !!!
So much wind in this crazy city ! I really hope I can go back soon ... I has SO much fun!

At 6 I left for the first time and I went every years since ,
At 14 I screw up a year at school because sitting behind a desk all day wasn't for me so I ask for going with my dad 1 year in Thaïland .
I learn the Thailand culutre and I start the sport who was going to change my life .. Thai Boxing . I did two fight and life evryday in a Nak-Muay skin .
This year teach me about myself and others , I learn that you don't need house , money , material for being happy , that respect was the most important feeling in the world and that a smile doesn't cost much but it can bring a lot !
But the most amazing place that I had the chance of visiting was the USA , after my senior year I decide to leave 1 year by myself to discover this mysterious country that everybody talks about .
I had no money and I defenetly didn't want go back to school so I became a aupair , so i was going to take care of children in a family for 200$/week , but I had somwhere to sleep , eat and shower , and I had vacation for visting with friend . In one word ? => PERFECT !!
So I start all the paper work for leaving on Septembre 2013 .
After quite some looking , I find what it feel like the perfect host family for me :
Day 3 :
But before I could joing them in Atlanta , I had to follow a intership with all the aupair who came on the same day than me , lucky for all of us this intership was in ...
New-Yoooork !!!
It was my first "contact" with english language .. It's was SO hard to follow everything to teacher was saying , but I manage to past the test ..
We learn what to say , how to react , how to act with kids , emergencies and host parent .
It was 3 INTENSE days , but in the same time we had the chance to visit a little bit of " The Big Apple " ..
That's me with the " Liberty lady " .. Yes , I know it don't seems like her
but I swear it is !!!
I lived in Atlanta almost 6 month , I lived with these incredible baby boys that I loved and love with all my heart !
I had some issues with the parents so I decided that it would be better for every one if I tried to find a new host family .
Even if I was so sad to leave I still had these amazing memories :
Partying with my friend !
Having a WONDERFUL trip to Florida !!!
Eatin my first Ben&Jerry's EVER !!!
..... But definitly not my last xD !!!
And of course ..
Spending priceless moment with the kids <3 !!
Day 4 :
Sorry , that been almost a week since a wrote :/
A was in TUNISIA with my family and the wifi is awfull :O
My mom don't have so much money lately so we leave in a " cheap" place , but there were , sun , sea and food as much as we wanted so I was kind of in paradise ...
I never went in Tunisia before so it's a new country to put on my bucket list ( visit a least one every single country of this magnificent earth ) !
Don't be mad , here some picture of the week ;D
I went running !!!
For some of you it's not extraordinary , but for me it's a real improvment in my lifestyle and my head ..
When I was in the US I took 30 pounds / 15kg !
The food was SO diiferent and I missed my family so badly that I ate like a giant ..
When I came back home I started to lose weight but , I never went back to sport like a use to , after a while I stop lossing wait .. And a spirale begun ...
I was a really good athlete before my trip , I was boxing , Thaï Boxing , I was training 4 time / week , running for a hour every other day and eating really healthy .
Since I'm back , I make promises to myself " going to the gym again , eating healthier " and everytime I start but it never last .
So wake up and go running every morning on this vacation week , make me feel like I can be my old me again , or .. more like the new me with my old good habit .
But hey , I'm still enjoying life xD <3
Day 5 :
Today , I did my first crossfit ever xD
Sven , my boyfriend ( tell you about it later ) "force" me to try with him xD
That wasn't So bad .. I just died like 5 times in 5 minutes xD !!
I love this treasure for supporting me and pushing me in every bad , hard and deplaisant situation that I been trought ..
I'm really lucky , because without him I'm not sure that I would be here , writing to you all .
Sometime you just need one person for raising up when in your lower side .
So may I introduce you the best part of my heart :
I met this little guy 5 years ago now , we first talk on
the 21th Septembre 2010 and had our first date on
the 26 .. This date never ended ..
He made me laught so hard that I couldn't smile for a week after that .
Everyday I'm felling so lucky because everyday I'm falling in love once again .
He is not only a great man or lover or even friend . He is a great person .. His dream is to defend our beautiful country with his life . So in two weeks he'll pass all the test for getting into the Belgium Army . I couldn't be more proud .
I'm scarded of let him commit and let him go but he support me when I told him that one of my dream was to go to the United-State so I am supporting him in his dream too .. Because who want somebody with unrealized dream ?
After goodbye who break my heart I flyed to Califorina *_* !!
I did find another great ( except the mom ) family who was ready to take me with them ..
After taking care of two baby boys , I was going to watch for two big girl !!
I was in a complet stress situation , because I have brother .. ok is way older now but I mean I know how boys work .. Girls ?! .. Not so much xD !!
But what is life without a little challenge every once in a while :O
So here I am , walking to the door and find :
Incredible
HAPPINESS
Thes two little monsters trun my world ( and feelings ) upside down so many time that I wasn't sure what side what left or right anymore .
They made every single trick , said every single lie and did every single sh*t that a kind can do , they tested me for a entire month , refusing every word I said , going against my rules and screaming to death each time I was saying no .
But they were the best part of every single day I was spending there , they were kind , loving , cudly and fun !
We used to Watch the World Cup all three of us , supporting each time the oppsite team .
We cooked , tried and invented dishes ( not all eatable xD )
Their mom didn't love me tho , I was too openmind for her , I got tattoo , percing , I was listenning all kind of music and having talk about life with the girls .
So 2 weeks before my vacation and the end of my year she send me back home with no other explanation than " We are too different " ..
I hated that women ( and even I over it now , I think I still do ) for what she did to me and the girls , because none of us was aware before she told me that I had a hour for packing and leaving .
The girl was crying in their room and I couldn't say goodby proprely .
I went home to family so happy to see them but damage and incomplete for my trip .
Thank god I had Wonderful Friend !
But this isn't a sad story ! I may had some issue with my both hostmom , I met the most incredible friend !
Comming from everywhere and living the same adventure .. We were connected since the first moment we've met . No one can understand what hell is it to be a aupair , except another aupair xD
Thanks to them I have the best memories you could possibly ask for :
With these group of people that I had the chance to : -Skydive
- Get a Tattoo
- Visit Hawaï
- Celebrate the fourth of July for 72h in a row
- Pretend to be a Standford student
- Laugh so many time that you can count
I think you should always follow your heart and especially your guts , if they tells you to go , it's because it's worth it !
You become a better , more entiere person if you follow your dream and let your heart choose and speak for you .
I'm 20 years old and unlike the most poeple , I can look at my little piece of life and tell myself :
" yeah Meg' you did good "
Even when I was at my worst I get up and fight , I follow what I wanted and I'm still holding on my next project , next adventure ..
Even if it's just getting a job , starting new study , It's always a wonderful , new and exciting new beginning :D
Win or lose , the key is to never failed ..
And the only way the failed is not to fight ..
So you fight until you can't fight anymore .
Good night dreamers .
Today was a cooking day :D
After a really healthy week : Running every morning and crossfit with Sven , I re-start good cooking , for my and my family ..
