interview with tina fussell

hello there friends!!! have you noticed that it is friday??? yay to fridays!! so, this week’s interview is about those who live abroad and we have some special guest… special because this lady has been moving around the world… a lot! when i found them, i was beyond thrilled with the idea, because i always thought i would be living abroad… and after all, i am still in lisbon. i am still in love with its light.

but the idea of living in several countries with your family and raising children in different cultures & languages is something absolutely exciting and it does make you grow stronger. so i believe. she is american, wife, mother of three… and a proud member of the {traveling tribe}. never heard about these fellows? sneak-peek {here} (after reading this, of course)! so, what is traveling tribe? explore!

{traveling tribe}

“between the five of us we have traveled to no less than nineteen countries and lived in three for more than five years total, including spain, morocco, and now denmark.  we have seen everything from the beaches of the mediterranean to the dunes of the sahara to the great wall of china.  travel is in our blood and having three kids has hardly slowed us down.”

“as of june 2010, we have begun our newest adventure of living and exploring the beautiful country of denmark.  it is here that we are sharing the process of setting up our new home and all the things we love about our new country.”

So, let read about tina & her family…

Hello… How are you? Can you tell me something that describes who’s Traveling Mama :: Tina Fussell? I am a wife, a mom, a traveler, and a bit of a romantic. I love to explore the world and find my deepest pleasure in creating from the inspiration I find along the way.

2. You were born in… Texas in the United States, but my family is Greek.

3. And now you are in… … for how many years? We just arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark almost three months ago and we absolutely love it!

4. Do you remember what were you feeling/thinking in the day you decided to go abroad? Anxious, excited, wild with anticipation, and at peace with our decision.

5. What do you like the most in your current place? That’s a tough one because there are already so many things I love! The atmosphere, the architecture, the people and the ocean are just a few things that I am already quite addicted to.

6. What do you miss the most from your country? My family and friends. Some days I just want to hop on a plane and go see everyone. It’s on those days that I am most thankful for Skype!

7. Let’s say that I’m going abroad for some reason… and I’m at the airport, on the departure side… your words for me would be…? Enjoy the adventure and do not take yourself to seriously!

And last but not the least… I would love to learn something in your language… can you tell me what’s your favourite word? Passion. Life is so short. I believe in waking up every day and living in with conviction and passion… just as I would if I knew it were my last.

Can you please let us know if you have already a favourite word in danish? Flodeboller! It was one of my first Danish words and it is a fluffy marshmallow covered in chocolate. Yet another thing I love about Denmark!

and now let’s dream a little bit with these images… and we never know, if i visit copenhagen in these next three years… i might just invite tina for a cup of coffee, because these images are so beautiful and moody!

well… this was our interview for this week! {apft} wishes to thank tina for her kind patience as sometimes, our communication was not the best one (i think that gmail & aol are not the best friends!), and for being here, it was indeed a real pleasure to have someone that has been {away from home} for so long!
