Hi, I’m Val. During the past years I’ve been called:
- cheeky cheeks
- sentimental bully
- poet for truck drivers since 1983.
In two words: Emotional Wreck. For free. Thank the Internet, not me.

2013 me
I started this blog by writing of my trips in Europe along 2012, with some pics I took. My target was “One European trip every month”, courtesy of low-cost flights. It turned out a pretty calendar, with a special destination and topic for each month…
In 2013 I still talked about my journeys, ( divided in International Trips – Discovery Germany – North Italy) and integrating the blog with a new section that joins my passion about music with memory, called “Le petit madeleine – Music version“.
In 2014 I put some new, fresh, crispy content! I introduced a new section where I talk about my monthly favourites, regarding music, cinema, photography, contemporary art, tv series, radio podcast….so much. Oh, wait! Food, flowers, books too. And I might go on with topics. Check it out on “The Playlist“.
2015 was a year of new personal challenges and new formats for this blog. I kept writing about my journeys and music&memories.
2016! I was quite busy with work, so the blog mainly featured European getaways, SEA leftovers from my trip in October 2015 and every 3 months or so some other exciting big trips! 🙂
2017! I wrote much less often, but nonetheless, my passion for words and pictures was still strong. Somehow things changed by the end of the year…
2018! I went fishing, I guess
End of 2019: The big return!
