I grew up in a small town of south of France, after a decision of my parents when I was 5 years old to leave Paris region, so they can raise me in the countryside and open their own restaurant, which was my father dream.

Despite of their decision, I spent my life hearing about how amazing their lives were in Paris. Both being from different part of France, they went to the capital to pursue their dreams. They told me about all the incredible places they used to work, the opportunities they had, each of them on their own, until they met and fell in love after a certain time.

I was sure that Paris was THE place to be, to become successful, start a career… But despite all my efforts, my experience remains far different from what they have known and my dreams have shattered very quickly when I arrived here.

Dreams, without goals, are just dreams. But not every goals can be achieved.
