Author: Marie-Noëlle Anaëlla

Marie-Noëlle Anaëlla is a travel consultant and writer from the Netherlands, currently residing in Paris. She describes herself as a Third Culture Kid (TCK) and sees the world as her home, having been born in the African country of Gabon and spending her early years in several diverse countries around the world. Living in places like Cameroon, Japan, China, India, Ireland, the United States and many more, has meant that it has become difficult for Marie-Noelle to adequately describe where she is from to the people she meets. As a result, she now simply calls herself a citizen of the world, coming from here, coming from there and coming from everywhere. Having caught the travel bug at a very young age, she has since made it her life and has now either lived in or visited more than 135 countries across 7 continents. Not traveling, for Marie-Noelle, would be like staring at empty pages in a book, too afraid to open herself up to the world and see its beauty. This travelling life has now seen Marie-Noelle take up a career in writing about her experiences and why it is so important. She spends much of her time encouraging others to travel, inspiring them to seek greatness and turn negative experiences into something positive. When she isn’t busy travelling around the world or writing about it, Marie-Noelle practices Tai-Chi and meditation, treats her body with the utmost respect and loves a cup of English tea.
