Hi everyone!
Welcome to a new video!
I'd like to introduce myself just a
little bit more if you allow me.
I'm Lindsay and it's almost been a
decade ago that I came here in France. 
I live at the border of the Dordogne
and the Lot, so I have both departments.
 I'm very lucky to live here and I realize
it just more and more.
I just gonna say
to you all straight away that I'm not a
native English speaker, so I'm sorry if I
say something wrong, because besides English
I speak Dutch, German and French.
So excuse me if I mix some phrases or words.
I came here in France to work at a
beautiful holiday park
and it was actually just for one season,
but I met somebody and I got stuck.
So I stayed in France.
At the beginning it was
very difficult for me. Not during
summertime, but especially during the
wintertime, because everything was closed
and it was like everybody went to
their hole to take a sleep, a big nap, like hibernation.
I just saw nobody
walking on the street. It was empty.
No sound at all, it was yeah, it was very
difficult for me, because I am born and
raised in the Netherlands in a little
village, next to all those big cities, so
I was used to that noise of trams,
trains, busses, aiplanes.. everything..
So when I came here it was all like what's
going on? I'm in nature right now.
There was no one on the street.
Everything was closed. Restaurants, parks
campsites. Just everything. It was,
yeah, the village or the cities were like
yeah to be honest..
No just
kidding, but it felt really like a dead
village or a dead city.
Like where's everybody!? What the heck is going on!?
Nothing to do..
Our first house was
almost into the forest.
the next shop or supermarket was 15 minutes by car, 
so I was really devastated.
I really wanted to move and quick.
It's not that I just
wanted to go back to a big city. It was
just like I wanted to have people around
me. I felt alone and I wanted to meet
some people and yeah being in a place
with shops and a supermarket nearby
was so much better for me, than to live
just in an area without lights without
any houses, people, nothing. 
No I couldn't do that.
So that was very rough in the beginning.
I struggled a lot with my
language even though I had almost about
seven years French at school, but if you
come here it's definitely not the same.
They speak with another accent and it's
funny, because, "they say", especially my
parents in law, that I have an accent
from the south like 'Marseille' and that I
speak like them, so that's quite funny,
but yeah in the beginning it was very
difficult, but you know when you're
watching television and
when you speaking with some friends 
 you get used to it.
So if you're struggling you're gonna be fine trust me!
We've spend a lot of holidays here in France
with my parents and my brother
and we had always a great time and it's
just crazy to know right now that back
then when I was walking here that I
would live my life here in France. 
That I will have my future here.
So that's a crazy thing, but it's also very beautiful.
So when I came here it was like; Wow
Where am I? What is this?! But yeah,
actually it was so beautiful later on
and now I can really enjoy the nature
and the sounds of the animals.
Yeah actually I'm blessed to live here
in this beautiful area and lucky to live
exactly at the border of the
departments Lot and the Dordogne,
because it has so much to offer.
So yeah I want to bring you to all those beautiful
places and I hope you gonna enjoy it so
much as I do and I hope I gonna trigger
you just a little bit to come and visit
this beautiful area and that you can see
it by your own eyes.
