"La Joie de vivre" is a French phrase often used in English to express a cheerful enjoyment of life, an exultation of spirit. It can be a joy of conversation, joy of eating, joy of anything one might do. To some, la joie de vivre may be seen as a joy of everything, a comprehensive joy, a philosophy of life. Here I'll share my personal journey of building a joyful lifestyle. From the places that bring me joy, to the people I meet, I started this blog as I embarked on my journey abroad.Today la joie de vivre still rings true as I believe there is something joyful about each and every day. Enjoy xoxo Emily
