![]() You believe me to be a Frenchman, for I speak French with the same facility and purity as yourself. I adopt all customs, speak all languages. God alone knows which country will see me die. ![]() “(…) My kingdom is bounded only by world, for I am not an Italian, or a Frenchman, or a Hindu, or an American, or a Spaniard - I am a cosmopolite. I remember that before reading The Count of Monte Cristo I happened to come across this quote that at the time, when I was maybe 11 or 12, fascinated me, and even now is one of my favorites: So I can go wherever, that I’ll always find my place. I’m also a wanderer because I don'r really feel like I belong anywhere… I mean, I belong in my home, but “home” is the place I decide to call home, not my home country, or where most of my family lives or friends or anything. Traveling, meeting new people, learning from other cultures makes me the person I am, helps me to be open-minded and to see life from different perspectives, allows me to be a better person. So when I say I’m a wanderer I mean that I like to move around, to see and experience new things, to live adventures not knowing for sure what’s gonna happen or where I’m gonna end up. For the third time I’m making a foreign country my home, this time completely alone (no exchange program or anything, just me on my own). I’ve lived in two foreign countries for a year by myself as an exchange student by the age of 15 and 20, away from my home, family and friends. I’ve been in several European countries and studied French, English and German (that doesn’t mean I can speak though). Since little whenever I had the chance I went into trips. It might sound pretentious of me to call myself a wanderer, and, don’t get me wrong, it is indeed a bit pretentious, but to this point I’m starting to think that’s what I am: a pretentious wanderer.
