taking a walk on the wild side..
im a expat living in the vendee. its nice here, lovely landscape, i like it. i enjoy my work through the week and my relaxing evenings sipping wine next to the fire, waking to the sound of singing birds etc. but i mean.. come on, im 21. these are great qualities to enjoy in life, i know.. but not at my age.. not yet..
i will spend a few more months saving cash, before hitting bordeaux to spend the summer partying.. and i mean partying. i will be out every weekend without fail, attending as many festivals/events as possible. i am going on my own.. i know i will make friends as i did it here in the vendee. i will be able to get work as i did that here too, and even if i cant.. the money i have saved will see me through at least a few months. this will be one crazy adventure. its what life's all about right? because some memories just sit on the shelf and rot away, they're worthless, but i want some things worth remembering.. thats when you know you need to give yourself a kick up the backside and push yourself out there.. and make the most of life!

Hi, welcome to the forum!
I live to the north of the Hérault, and only go to Béziers to catch the TGV!
P.S. pm sent, but you may not be able to read it until you've posted a bit more.

Re: taking a walk on the wild side..
Its still winter in the East - brrrrr Just been out on the bike and I'm bloody frozen
June and july is the wet season and if we're lucky we may have a summer (break in the cloud??) some day in August. Then after another wet season (sept/oct) winter sets in once more for another 8 months - No wonder I'm a heating engineer
