It's Win(e) Wednesday We're celebrating because we're a quarter of the way through our travel challenge, and it's a legit excuse to pop some champagne. Towards the end of last year we set ourselves a target, to visit all of the 40 Great Sites in the Occitanie region by the end of summer, and we've hit number 10! We've still got a bit to go but we're loving it and enjoying ticking them off as we explore.
Looking back I wish I'd travelled more around Scotland when I was at home. I was always keen to hop on a plane and jet off to a foreign land with sunnier climes. Or... maybe there's just far too much I want to see in the world and its hard to get around everything. My travel destination list is continuously growing!
Do you travel locally where you live or do you tend to venture further afield when you plan a holiday?

"Why on earth would you buy a house in France?" she asked me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I guess the question is not that crazy if you are an Australian who has never visited France before and you plan to buy a house there, somewhere, anywhere, to visit during school holidays.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyway, regardless of the absurdity, we went ahead and bought a house in a farming village in the northwest of France and while lots of people thought we were crazy, it has been the best thing we ever did !!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has changed the life of our family of five forever.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Travel is amazing and being able to experience a different culture is great - especially if it's French!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love to inspire others to take a chance, back yourself and follow your dream, because it may just turn out to be the very best decision of your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We share our story of living between our homes in Australia and France and how we make it work, together with heaps of information about France including travel, what's on, recipes and how to bring a bit of French in your life on our blog A French Collection. I'd love it if you joined us over there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Well friends...after 18 hours from door to door, we made it to our new space in Albertville last night, and it’s safe to say we’ve got a view like never before...
+
I’m grateful that before we departed we had the summer that we did: saying goodbye to those we love in the East Bay, driving across the US, camping out in beautiful national parks, our training at MTI and with the @cmalliance, and the great 4-5 weeks of quality time with beloved friends and family.
+
A HUGE THANK YOU to each one who played a part in our summer AND in our preparation for France over the past SIX years—it’s here!! WE’RE HERE!

Greek Mythology Over 4 days a giant spider (Ariane) and a 50 foot Minotaur (Astérion) roamed the streets of Toulouse as part of a street theatre exhibition, acting out 'The Guardian of the Temple' from Greek mythology as they went along. It was simply amazing to watch #lamachine #legardiendutemple #halledelamachine #greekmythology
Nothing brings people together like good food and wine Spent some of this weekend at the Salon Vins & Terroirs and Salon Chocolat & Gourmandises (a wine, food & chocolate exhibition) Consumed some of the most delicious treats I've ever eaten, but I'll be dreaming of this cheese dish for weeks to come #saycheese #cheesus #heresmyfood
Dégustation des vins Last night I got the chance to attend a wine tasting event by #cavecorvinum sampling wine from the Pyrenean foothills. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone as the whole event was hosted in French and I survived, go me! It was a fun night with tasty nibbles supplied by the chef @restaurant_au_pois_gourmand My favourite was this refreshing white by #domainedelaumonier Typically I'm a red wine fiend which made this a very welcome surprise! So now I need to sniff out another event to appease my inner oenophile #chinchin #winetasting #expatintoulouse
