Je suis allée dans un monde magique …

Jeudi 2 avril 2015 Je suis allée dans un monde magique … Ou plutôt à l’exposition Harry Potter qui vient de débarquer à Paris … Mais c’est semblable car quand vous passez les portes de la cité du Cinéma : vous…

I'm finally discovering how it feels to be safe an

I'm finally discovering how it feels to be safe and fully appreciated, in a place where you can be unapologetically yourself. In a country that I'm deeply falling in love with, more and more every day. So far, it feels wonderfully great 💙 31 years, it took a while to find. Never give up!

THANK YOU to… The ones who were with me before 2

THANK YOU to… The ones who were with me before 2023, the ones I’ve met but will probably never see again, & the new friends. The ones that offered me love, respect, help and kindness. The ones that have seen me, truly cared about me, cheered me up, inspired me, asked my opinion, did not just hear my words but fully listened, let me help them, trusted me, reminded me my worth. To the ones that are a burst of sunshine, sprinkling joy in my life and flooding it with laughter. To the ones that helped me grow, sang and danced with me, welcomed me in their homes, filled my days with deep conversations and silly jokes, made my soul shine, warmed my heart, taught me things.

We may have met in the middle of the Thai jungle, in a minibus with locals literally peeing themselves around us, in an old Finnish sanatorium, in a city bursting with life, in a Lao cat café, at a cooking class, in a train station, in a temple, in the Spanish countryside, at a handicraft workshop, at a tea plantation, or in another random place somewhere in Asia or Europe.

We have played games, swam in lakes and rivers, observed tarantulas at night, walked alongside snakes, hiked, shared homemade meals, lighted fires, tried bamboo rafting, skydived, chased leaves, admired sunrises and sunsets, won a debate in our second language, hugged, had to listen a guide showing us weird pictures of his dead wife, played and rolled in the snow, cut wood and built stuff, made our own knives, walked barefoot in the mud, traveled in car trunks, picked mushrooms in the forest, slept on water, laughed in caves, sent each other long voice messages, dissected our deepest thoughts and personality traits, watched movies, debriefed videos for longer than the videos themselves, shared cultures and languages, celebrated a wonderful wedding, attended music gigs, and so much more. Damn... the fun we've had!! None of this would have been so magical without you ✨

I think that we are the sum of all the people we meet, the choices we make and all the things we go through. I'm honored and immensely grateful to have spent 2023 with you all and to continue my life with a piece of you with me forever.

Thank you for being you ❤️

When my feet took a break to let my taste buds tra

When my feet took a break to let my taste buds travel through all the Spanish flavors 😋 Traveling and discovering... it's way more than seeing things. It's smelling, tasting, learning, meeting, hearing, etc. All my senses are always celebrating 🎊

Here are some Spanish specialities 🤤

Life is full of surprises ⚡️ Good ones 🎁 Bad ones 💣 The nomad aspect spices it up immensely 🌶🔥 I've had a lot of them both along the way; and right now, it was time for a bad one to happen. But often, in life, there's still a bright side. I'm leaving Spain 1 month and half before I thought I would, but I'm on my way to my country, to a city I've been wanting to go to for the first time for years now, and most importantly, I'm on my way to see a wonderful friend 🥰

I'm terrible at looking back to enjoy my achieveme

I'm terrible at looking back to enjoy my achievements 😔 I grew up thinking that nothing I would ever do would be enough anyway, that's what I had been taught, so why would I stop to reflect? To beat myself up even more that I was already doing on a daily basis? Slowing down was too risky, and taking a break, even a tiny one, was way too dangerous. Keep running and ignoring feelings were two tools out of my coping mechanisms box, to go through life. I've been on Surviving mode for as long as I can remember. But these past few years I've tried a bit.

I struggle a lot, but I guess it takes practice. We often want to change something in a blink of an eye when it took a lot of years to build that something. Patience is key.

Here I am sitting in a park in Madrid, watching the sunset, thinking... 🤔

▪︎ Created my own company 🌟
▪︎ Lived in different countries very different from mine 🌏
▪︎ Stand up for myself 💪
▪︎ Jumped out of a plane 🪂
▪︎ Lived among dangerous snakes, spiders, weird insects and other lovely wild animals 🐍
▪︎ Learned a all lot about more subjects than I could count 🤯
▪︎ Met wonderful people that will stay in my heart forever 🥰
▪︎ Tried some delicious exotic and unkown food 🍽
▪︎ Seen magical landscapes 🤩
▪︎ Discovered I'm capable of everything 👑

That's the first 10 things I did that I can think of, during these past 6 months. None of it was easy. None of it happened out of luck. But all of it is worth stopping for, to be grateful and proud of.

Don't get me wrong though. I also sweat a lot, met not so nice people, cried in a corner at an airport, got very stressed, worked a fucking lot, struggled with luggage, went crazy about the insects everywhere getting in my plate and glass, the spider that settled on my toilet or the one that took my toothbrush and hairbrush hostage 🕷 Among other things. It's just not the first 10 things that came to my mind, surprisingly 😅

Do you ever stop and look back? It doesn't have to be big to be an achievement that you should be proud of. All the big things are a combination of small things. I'm pretty sure you don't look at your past with the right mindset either. Let's celebrate ourselves more 🍾🎊

6 months 🗓 I've always had a thing for this per

6 months 🗓 I've always had a thing for this period of time. Scared to have less than this planned for my future. But anxious to have more. For an unknown reason, it has always felt like a reasonable time to manage. Enough to make it through without panicking, not too much to be too disappointed. You can do a lot in 6 months, but you can't set goals that are too high and that you might not reach. Enough to make some improvements, not too much to be a complete disaster.

I had 6 months planned when I moved to France 🇨🇵 When I moved to Ireland 🇮🇪 When I went to Asia 🌏

I remember gigs I wanted to go to being announced and not buying tickets because it was more than 6 months later. I've lived a lot of my life thinking "I don't know what I'll be doing, where I'll be".

For the first time as an "adult", I don't have my next 6 months planned right now, and I'm OK with that. Just a rought idea though, let's not get too crazy 🙈
This is a sign of growth to me 🌟

Maybe next time I'll try to plan more, and see how I manage. Because it has always been really tiring, the unknown. But can you really plan where you're going to be in one year? And more? I see many people doing it, I'll have to learn I guess. That gives me things to work on in the future, to keep life interesting 😅

I made an honest mistake and unexpectedly kind of

I made an honest mistake and unexpectedly kind of ended up in the corporate world these past 2 months 🤦‍♀️ From experience, and talks with people, including psychologists that unfortunately deal a lot with the consequences of it on their patients, I think this is a shitty world. Sadly, this new experience did not change my mind 😔 It confirmed, not that I had any doubt, that leaving months ago was the best idea. Crazy how some environments and people can be toxic, no matter the country. I’m glad that I left this type of workplace and chose peace, respect (towards myself & others), kindness, and quality job, among other things. I do believe there are some great companies out there, but they are a minority.
I cherish my freedom, my independence, my kindness, and my honesty more than ever. And all my core values in general 🧡 There is no way I’m letting anyone destroy that again. Months ago, a lot of people told me I was brave, and I couldn’t really understand why. I’m starting to get it now!

I thought I was joining nice people around a great project for 2 months. Turns out I was not, and that’s completely ok. But I’m also very relieved and happy it was short (felt long though) and it’s over 😥 Honest mistakes are ok, but don’t let them last!

After months filled with joy, love, wonderful discoveries, amazing people, professional and personal fulfillment, and so much more positivity, in the North of Thailand and Laos, it was tough but still interesting. During these past 2 months in the South of Thailand I've also had great adventures, seen beautiful landscapes, and I’ve had many victories over big challenges. I mean… I was completely ok being few centimeters away from a big python and other snakes!! Just that in itself, and anyone that knows me well can confirm, is THE BIGGEST THING ever!!

I’ve done so many things I never thought I would or could these past 6 months. Now I’m sitting at the airport, on my way to new adventures, grateful for what happened, excited for what’s to come, struggling to fully realize all the milestones and things that I made happen in this new life of mine on the road so far! 😃

Goodbye SE Asia, see you again in the future 🙏

This is what happens when you take me out of the tropical evergreen forest jungle to go to the urban one for 3 days. You can judge me, I don't care 🤷🏼‍♀️😆😋
