NadiaMarie's VirtualTourist Home Page

Dear all, I've decided to leave slowly VT. I deleted most of my commentents and picture...
The reason? I don't find anymore pleasure discovering destinations through VT... it's polluted by advertisements and proposal for renting, buying....
And, I receive lots of mails proposing me hotels and tickets... all those kind of things ... while I was happy to open my mail bax before seeing that a vt member wrote me... I'm now upset all the time seeing I received 10 mails but all of them to propose me to buy things I never bought this way in my life and that I DON'T WANT.
I'm quite sad that this happy site with a friendly community just turned out to be as commercial, and ever more, as any other travel site.

Cheers all and enjoy life

Welcome everybody!
Just as an introduction I'd like to warn you, none of my pages are neutral.

I don't mean to play the guide book nor be the someone who-knows-all-about a country. I do experience countries and not only visit. Although I'm a history student, I really get bored when visiting a country only means spending my time in museums and inspecting every grave and every archeologic site.

I like above all meeting interesting people if possible not involved in the touristic industry, feeling at home in the middle of the desert in the Sina as well as in a monastery in Syria, in a poor family in Nicaragua, in a crazy party in Jerusalem or in a friend's family in Morocco. I like taking the pulse of a place and adapting myself but of course without renouncing my personnal principles.

Hoping you'll enjoyed my pages.

See you on VT.

Nadia

Bienvenue tout le monde!
En introduction, je voudrais juste vous prévenir qu'aucune de mes pages n'est neutre.

Je n'essayes pas de jouer au guide du Routard ni de faire le celui-qui-sait-tout du pays. Je tente de vivre les pays plus que de les visiter.
Même si je suis une étudiante en Hisoire, passer mon temps dans les musées ou à inspecter la le moindre indice archéologique m'ennuie profondément.

Je préfère par dessus tout rencontrer des personnes intéressantes, me sentir chez moi au milieu du désert dans le Sinai autant que dans un monastère en Syrie, dans une pauvre famille au Nicaragua ou dans une folle soirée à Jérusalem ou encore dans la famille d'une amie au Maroc.
J'aime prendre le rythme d'un lieu et m'adapter sans pour autant bien sûr renier mes propres convictions.

En espérant que vous aprécierez le site.
