Yep, I am french!
I am not from Paris, but from Nice (pronounce neece), which is a medium size town on the sea side next to the italian border. It’s situated between Cannes, St Tropez, and Monte Carlo. Quite a nice place to grow up!
I am happy in the USA and love this country but there are some thinks that I miss from France, that’s why I would love to share information and tips about my country if you feel like interested by it!

And as promised, here is a little bit about the places I’ve been to, and where I lived for a time!
I already said I was born in Nice, a beautiful town on the south east coast, next to Italy.
But I’ve been living a few years in Tarbes, a lovely small town in the Pyrenees, where I spend my last school years.
A special “Hello!” to my friend Ophelie, who is a big and sweet part of my childhood memories there! 
But here is just the beginning!
After that, I changed the lovely fresh air of the mountains for the mythic sands of the Sahara.
I spend a year in Morocco, and especially in the Sahara, very next to the border of Mauritania.
This was a terrific experience!
I learned so much living with the Saharaoui people, and I enjoyed the massive landscapes and the contact with the nature.
What a peaceful sensation I felt in this place!
I miss it a lot, and I hope I will go there one day to show this wonderful country to my family…
But this is definitely not the end!
I left Morocco and came to Nice where I met my hubby, whose origin is spanish.
That’s why we decided to go to Spain and we have been living there happily 5 years, until just a few months ago!
We were living in such a beautiful town in Andalucia, Southern Spain : Ronda.
What a wonderful place to live!
Our daughter Cecilia was born there the 10th May 2004, she is the “Rondena” of the family!
My husband Jose has already all his family there, and it’s definitely our favorite destination for the holiday!
And now we are currently in Arizona, next to Phoenix, and I enjoy it a lot!
Such a difference between the U.S. and our old Europe! I am amazed!
Well, I am sure our trip here will be a great experience for our daughter and also for us of course.
If you want to know more about the places I ‘ve been talking about, or you just want to say “hello”, you can send me an email to bebenature01-at-yahoo-dot-es.
I will be so happy to hear from you! Feel free to leave your comments on this post!
My parents went to Nice couple of years ago. I’ve only been to Paris (as far as France goes). I would LOVE to go to Morocco. My husband has been and I hope to go sometime. I’ve only been to Barcelona in Spain, but loved it too. My husband traveled more in Spain that I did, but I can’t remember where he went.
What a great life you lead and how nice that you are able to travel to so many wonderful places!
