Describe who you are in 3 sentences:
My name is Emilie, I love to travel and explore new places (especially if there’s a pool or a beach). I find peace and joy in my family, and doing nothing with them. My father has always taught me to accept the things that are out of my control and always do the best I can to get a positive outcome of every situation.
What is your relation to this city?
