I'm a lover of travel and writing, and enjoy exploring new horizons. Bonifacio, with its white cliffs and turquoise sea, has always had a special place in my heart. I still remember the time when, lost in its narrow streets, I discovered a little medieval church, a real hidden gem. I love sharing these moments of wonder and inspiration with my readers, in the hope of inspiring them in turn to discover the beauties of Bonifacio and France.
