A Moveable Feast
Throwback to the time I just turned 20 and happened to be in Paris.

Me in my 20s was a shy, young student majored in linguistics and literature, who loved fine arts and photography with a naive passion. To be in Coimbra, then Vienna, then Berlin, and finally Paris at that pivot moment was enough for me to shape my worldview, setting the entire theme of my 20s. I was lucky to visit the Maison de Balzac, Maison de Victor Hugo and so on. And reading A moveable feast, all the while being in Paris, I felt like I was being delirious with joy.

To quote Ernest Hemingway, from his strangely lovely book I was reading on the balcony of my appartement:

"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast".
