Home Sweet Home as title of an article made with pictures of sunny beaches and idyllic landscapes. Because my home is Martinique, where I had not been for 5 years. Yes it is a lot, but when you live in China and you have 12 days of vacation per year it is difficult to arrange a holiday that will take three days of traveling. Instead of going to Marinitque, we prefered to discover new countries and time flies without us noticing.

Finally with a little determination and organization and a lot of money and promise to my boss to check my emails every day, everything is possible! In a few weeks we had booked our plane tickets to meet each other, my sister (who lives in Germany), my boyfriend (who had never traveled so far) and I, in our Martinique house where our mother was waiting with impatience. The term is a bit low but let’s keep that way.

It is a bit far…

After a so long absence, I expected to be in a permanent crisis of hysterical happiness (like me hugging each coconut screaming with joy), but the reunion were natural and actually I had the feeling that I left yesterday. West Indies rhythm was taken immediately we walked through the doors of the airport with the familiar breath of warm and moist air. Habits returned immediately we arrived in the home of our childhood. I will prepare a nice article about it 😉
In the meantime, I leave you with some pictures of my homeland. It is beautiful, isn’t it?
