I have been incredibly lucky throughout my life to travel. From my first year abroad<\/a> to business trips and vacations in over 30 countries, I’ve been fortunate to see the world. But now … like so many … I’m stuck at home!<\/p>\n

Et pour comble …<\/strong><\/p>\n

But to add insult to injury<\/em>1<\/a><\/sup>Other ways to say add insult to injury\u00a0<\/em>include\u00a0pire encore<\/em>\u00a0(lit. worse still<\/em>),\u00a0et si c’\u00e9tait\u00a0pas\u00a0<\/em>suffisant<\/em> (lit.\u00a0and if that wasn’t enough<\/em>), or\u00a0par dessus le march\u00e9 \u00a0<\/em>(lit.\u00a0on top of the deal<\/em>).<\/span>, pour la premi\u00e8re fois depuis l\u2019\u00e2ge de 16 ans je n\u2019ai pas de passeport valide\u00a0<\/strong>(for the first time since I was 16, I don’t have a valid <\/em>passport<\/i>).<\/p>\n

I suppose it doesn\u2019t matter much, because even if I wanted to, I can\u2019t go anywhere right now and as a result I find myself these days very much en manque de voyage <\/strong>(missing travel<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Que ce soit par voiture, en train, ou en avion, j\u2019aime voyager<\/a><\/strong> (Whether by car, train, or plane, I love to travel<\/em>). And like\u00a0mon amie Kyle<\/strong> says,\u00a0One should always have tickets<\/a> in the drawer<\/em>.2<\/a><\/sup>Is my friend Kyle un homme<\/em> or\u00a0une femme?<\/em> Can you tell?\u00a0La r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la fin!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Que<\/strong> faire? <\/strong>(What to do?)<\/em> Well, like the French singer Suzane, all we can do is take to our\u00a0ordi(nateurs)s<\/strong> and travel virtually.<\/p>\n
