“Though you’ve been travelling most of your life, you’ve been settled in France for a few years now it seems, do you still have the chance or desire to travel?

I have been in France for thirteen years now – 10 in Paris and 3 in Lyon. This is after five years in East Africa as a newlywed, which followed a childhood in the Foreign Service, where my family was posted to Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, India, Indonesia, and Nigeria. I do have the desire to travel, still, but the issue gets complicated by budget and the fact that going “home” to see our families of origin (mine in the USA, my husband’s in Argentina) uses up most if not all of our free time, as well as budget, for travel.“
