Long time no write my dear facebook followers!
Sorry for being so quiet on this page life got a bit a hold of me.

I am cheching in from the sunny island of Tenerife in the Atlantic ocean off the south coast of Monacco.

Having gone throught some new experiances in Tenerife, lately it got me thinking on the subject of friendship.
So I decided to write about my view on friendships.
On this link you can read it and let me know what you think!

Writing has always been an artistic expresion for me. It was a way to get things out of my head. And this piece also started by me just picking up a pen and letting my hand do the writing. Words pured out on paper and thoughts written down witout thinking twice about them.
With some editing this piece came to life. It's short and hopefuly understanding...
It would mean the world it you took less than 10 min out of your day and read it.
And if youget all they way to the end please leave a comment with your thoughts on the piece. I would love to discuss your view on it :D

Hope all of you are having a good Monday and remember

HaveFun*

I believe friendship might just be the most important relationship in our lives.

On Sunday afternoon I left Nice.
As I said before it was my home for almost 3 months. I had an amazing time there but it was time for me to move on to the next stop.
And the next stop was Vitrolles. A city 30 minutes away from Marseille. It was my original plan to go to Marseille to see at least one more place before I leave France. But I felt very tired (more mentaly than physicaly) so I decided not to stress my self even more.
As a result I had a chance to explore Vitrolle and it's hidden gems.
I climbed the hill behind the house, took a walk with my host around the old town and took a small trip to the source of a river with some small waterfalls and rocks that made me think I was in the middle of Colorado not the south of France.
I took in all the nature I could since I lived in a big city for 3 months. I am so greateful to have had this opportunity. And I always like exploring places most turists don't get to see. And Vitrolles was definitly one of them.

There was also one important thing I had to do before leaving.
The one thing I managed not to do (thankfully!) in 2020.
I took my first PCR test.
Now why would I do that?
The anwser is simple. TRAVEL!
Because I decided to keep on traveling and traveling these days comes with restrictions and extra qualifications. And the test is one of them.
And the results are negative meaning I can move to my next destination. Where is my next destination, you may ask.
Well the anwser to that will come tomorrow.
For now I have safely arrived to Barcelona where I will fly from tomorrow.
Any guesses where I am going to? Comment below and let's see who gets closes to the right one ⬇😉
I will give you a hint.
It is still part of EU but not mainland Europe😉

No photo today but I will make an album of photos from Nice and Vitrolles in the next few days.
So be sure to follow me and keep an eye out for my posts ;)

Until then,

Nice oh Nice

Whenever I book my travels (usually last minute) I never know what to expect and what experinces I will have in a certain location.
Nice was no different.
I had no idea I would spend the secon french lockdown in Nice. But I did. And made some nice memories while there.
I met many many people in Nice. From many differet coutries.
And some have gained a special place in my heart.
From the hostel manager that was incredibly kind to me to my cooworker who became my brother.
To the small enounters of people that I will remember.
We often times realize the connection after we talk about a place or an experiance. We don't see it in the momnt it happens but when we look back we realize some people will stay in our memories, stories and hearts.
And those are the people who make life special.

The more I travel the more I see it's the people that make the place.
The people who make us want to return.
The people who help us on our journey.
The people who become our extended family.
The people who make us beilve there is still so much good out there.
The people who stay in our hearts no matter the distance.

This goes out to all the people whom I have met in my travels (Nice and elsewhere) who have made my advetoures so special🥰😘❤

Who makes life special for you? Comment your anwser ;) ⬇️

The last few days have been crazy. And I was putting of writing this post every day. But finnaly here it is. 😅😆
The biggest thing 2020 has taught me.

The 2 things 2020 gave me was my hair (back xD) and a new perspective on friendship and family connections.
It gave me honest, supporting, amazing people who have transcended the limits of friendship. They are my family. My chosen family. The people who chose me as their family. The people who chose to stay. For good and bad. They are the people I know I can count on. The people I will call first with my best, my worst and all in between, news. I have gained such deep appreciation of these relationships. Such deep gratitude to have these people in my life.
As my hair grows, I grow, my relationships grow.
It all just flows. Life itself flows and it will keep moving into 2021.
And I am so thankful to be able to experience it all.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I hope you have found some positivity in 2020 amid all the negative things. I hope that my Decembre month of gratitude sparked some gratitude in you. Something to make you look at the bright side.

I started growing back my hair in May.
Here are the start and end of the year photos ;)

My post for the last day my gratitude month didnt get posted last night, since I was busy all day and drinking all night 😆
My celebration was awsome and I am happy to have spent it this way.
No night sky of fireworks since we all had to be inside after 8 pm but still had a blast with some awsome people.

So to finish Gratitude December the last day of 2020, I was greateful for the whole year.
I am also a little proud of myself to make these posts every evning for 1 month (if you like it, I will keep at it). When I started, I didn't think I would also finish it. But here I am. Late with my last post but still here.

I am greateful for all the good and the bad that 2020 has brought me. It changed all my plans. As life usually does but in a such a bigger scale. And I am greateful it lead me here.

That is all I will say for now.
There will be another post about the end of a year and the start of another, so keep an eye out for that today or tomorrow 😉

For now thank you for reading my posts a d engaging on my fb page. Love you all!

Day 30 of

Today has ne feeling like; "Here we are people! Tomorrow we will end another year. 2020. And what a year it was."
Personally and globally.
What I have learned this year is that everything happens for some reason. And every single one of an affect in this world. No matter how small you think you or your actions are, the affect something and someone.
I realized it yesterday.
A good friend here said something and in that moment it hit me how one person can have a big affect on your life. And consequently have an affect on some many more.
So if we all strive do some good deed each day, we can improve our lifes. Slowly change will be seen.

So today I am greateful for all the people that made my 2020 special.
For those who stayed in touch.
For those who carred.
For those who I would bear hug the crap out of, when I see them.
For those who stayed and for those who left.

I am lucky to have such amazing people in my life.
For them I am greateful every day of the year. And I will continue to be greateful for all the amazing people in my life. ❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

My wish for all my readers in the new year is, that you find someone who makes you feel loved and suppoted, in your life. And I am not talking about romance. I am talkinh about family. The bonds of family we make trought out life. Wherever we may be. 😘

As we are nearing the end of the month and the end of another year, many things are going trought my head...
And the more I think about all of it, I feel si greateful to be where I am.
In freaking Nice. In France. Sorounded by different nationalities. Different languages. Close to a beach. Having a healthy family. Loving friends. And enjoying every moment of it.
I am greateful to have made it this far 😆
Hopefully there are many more years and months for me to live. 🙏🏽😊

Today I am greateful for all the languages out there.
Yes, if we all spoke one language life would be a but easier but languages carry so much with them.
The diversity.
The culture.
The history.
The community.
The learning.
The complexity.
The changes.
The uniquness.

They are all filled with information to discover.
And I love learning bits of a language in every place I visit. And France has been the same. But not only did I learn a small bit of french. I also renewed my spanish skills and picked up on some russian (witch is easier that others since it is in the same family of languages as my own).

How many laguages do you speak or understand? Let me know in the comments😉⬇️

Today I am greateful for our imagination.
We all have access to imagination. Much more when we are children. As adults it varies from person to person.
I am doing ny best to keep as mzch if that as possible. And I think keep the child inside alive has a big effect on that.
I feel like the things that make me feel like a child also broaden my imagination. The feeling of anything is possible if you only imagine😊

I am greateful to have such access to imagination. And to help bring more to this world of ours 😊

When was the last time you did something that sparked your imagination? ⬇️😉

Today I was on roller blades after ages. If felt good just rolling around Nice and the whole promenade. Luckily I cought the good wearher before a storm came in. I felt like a kid again. And anything that makes me feel like a kid is a good thing😊
I thunk we should all narture the child in us to live our best life. Those are the things that make us smile more.

So today I am greateful for all the things that allow me to stay a kid inside. Getting super excited over small things. Enjoying the moment as it is. Playing around. Doing arts and crafts. Doing sports. And enjoying good company.

Find something today that makes you feel like a kid again. Believe me it will feel good 😉

To many out there today is christmas eve. Many cultures celebrate today in different ways and for different reasons. And what ever the reason you have, I wish all of you happy hollidays and may all of you be healthy 😘

Today I am greateful for my family. The family I was born into. The family that raised me. The family that will always be there. My imidiate family is quite small. But loving non the less.
I have been in a good mood all day for unknown reason. But the video chat filled my heart. On one side me in Nice, France. On the other side my parents and my brother in Slovenia and my aunt on the third side in Serbia. All drinking the same drink (that has never happend before). All laughing. All healthy. All glad to stay in touch and know we are all doing good. I love them so much. And in the spirit of the hollidays, today I am even more greateful to have them.

I hope all of you have some family to celebrate the hollidays with.

Today I am greateful for my brothers. And so far I got a few.

Let me explain. I have one younger brother that was born as my sibling. But I do believe in the bon of brotherhood/sisterhood. I believe we gain a choosen family. People that come into our life and stay just in such a way they become family.

I got my second brother in the second year of high school. In the beginning of the year, one of the teachers asked us if we are brither and sister. And we said yes. (he is the same age as my actual brother) And I treated and seen him like a brother ever since. Still do to this day. And he made my day by calling me today.
I got my third brother while traveling in 2019. I couch surfed with him and just stayed at his studio for amlost 3 months. And used as a base. Even came back to see him before going to Slovenia. He is my Yemeni big bro that I know will always have my back.
Probably by the time I leave France, I will have anither Colombian brother in that list.

I love my awsome band of brothers. Each one of them ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wicth family member are you greateful for today? 😉⬇️😊

In one way or the other.
We all find comfort and escape in music.
Many times you can find a song ir a melody for every event. Every emotion. Every age.
I am greateful that we have such a tool and talent to express and recive music.
I am greateful for the abilty to listen to music.
To enjoy it.

I had a little advanture today, helping out a friend. And on a sunny day to make it better. Finished my adveture in my favorite way. Watching the sunset.

As I was sitting on the Nice beach, waiting for the sun to go down completly, I realized something. I always wait the sunet out to complete dark. Why? Because I am waiting for the stars to come out. I love starts. Laying down somewhere and just looking at the sky.
Living in a city with an 8pm courfew, seeing the starts is rare for me. But everytime I see a star, it makes me smile.

So today I am greateful for all the starts out there. For giving a beautiful view everytime I get to enjoy it.

What is your favorite place to go star watching? 🌟

Today I hit me how close we are to ending this year. I don't believe that in 1.1. 2021 things will magically change but at the end if every year I always take time to look at all the things that happend over the year. For me this process is always in the evnings. December evenings are even more special because of all the advatures I survied in yet another year. I love describing life events as advatures because I think they are one.

Every year has memories. And every year has some events that stand out. And every year has the people who made it special. The people we will talk about when we mention stories of each year.

So today I am greateful for all advatures that happend this year. With the global situation, this year was really different. So many good and bad things happend. So many people crossed my path. So many un expected situations.

And yet here we are again. Alive to see another day. Alive to see another year unfold. Alive to see those new advatures.

I hope this made you think of at least one good special advature that happend this year. And I hope you get many more in this life. 😊

Today I am greateful for all the board games, family games and card games. I love how they make us sit down with strangers, friends or family and just have a good time. It makes us connect to people that we are playing with. It makes us laugh. It makes us have some fun. And there is one thing I aspire to is having fun.
To find moments of laugh, smiling and enjoy ourselfs.

And do my best to smile everytime something makes me smile. And games are one of thise things. They can make us forget about the bad things in life, even if just for a moment.

Those are the moments we will remember. Those are the night we will tell our loved ones about. And those are the feelibg that will stay with us, when we won't remember the full stories any more.

So take time this weekend to play a game with the people you live with. Or someone close to you.

What is your favorite board game or card game to play?

Today's post I am writing earlier because it is a special day today. Yesterday marks one year since I arrived back to Europe. And I came for one reason. To celebrate my fathers 50th birthday.

Today is my dads birthday and I want to honor him on this page since he is why I am where I am today.

He may not have been the best dad when I was little but ever since I got my drivers licence he has been by my side keeping me safe, any way he could. He is the one always supporting my travels even though I know he would perfer having me home. He is the one always checking that I am safe, that I have everything I need, that I am happy and taken care of.

I love how he calls me at least once a week to make sure I am still alive and healthy. I love his smile and how he takes care of our family. I love his song selection and how he can be the life of the party. He has flaws just like we all do but I am so so so greateful to have him in my life. And I hope to have him by my side for many many years to come.

Many people in this world grow up without a father or with an abusive one. So having such a cool dad is even more of a blesing. And my wish is that everyine reading this has at least one parent that cares for them and loves them.

So thank you dad for everything you keep giving me. And I hope I make you proud in one way or another.
And happy happy birthday ❤️😘

As I am drinking my evening tea, I find myself greateful for this hot drink. 😊🍵

As I am not coffee drinker (if you know me, you know I hate coffee), I enjoy tea very much. It comes in si many flavors and so much history and yet it is just some flowers or herbs or fruit soaked in hot water. And yet so many people enjoy this drink. There is so many rituals involved with tea.

For me. I just enjoy taking time to sit down and enjoy it. To just sit still for a few moments and observe the world around me. In any company (alone or with others). It relxes me and gives me something to talk to people about.

Do you know how many different words there are for tea? 🍵 Comment your anwser⬇️😉

Today I am greateful for my paraglider.
The last days I found someone to talk extreme sports with. And it made me realize how much I miss paragliding. It was one of my wishes to fly in the south of France since it has so many paragliding spots. But the lockdown in France made that impossible for a moment. As things are easing up I can't wait to find an opportunuty to fly somewhere in France before I leave the country. It has been to long 😆

Paragliding is one if my favorite things to do. It gives me a sense if freedom that nothing else can give. Even traveling and flying around with airplanes gives a different feeling. But being alone in the sky with only your paraglider keeping you up is a unique sesation. It's what I love most about the sport. And I know that soon enough I will feel it again.

What gives you the best feeling of freedom? Tell me about it in the comments😉⬇️

Today I am greateful for new friendships. I am greateful that some people feel like they can open up to me and at times it leads new lasting friendships. Not always. And I am not in touch with these people all the time but I know when I see then again it will be only love between us.

Today I said goodbye to one if those people. A girl that stayed in the hostel for about a week. Every evenung we would spend time together and just enjoy the time.

It is people like her that make believe that you can find good people everywhere (and bad ones too. Depends on where you look). And I can't wait to see where we will meet again. 😊

I always take time for gratitue in the evening or at night before sleeping. Especialy living in a hostel. I find moments in the day to say thank you for any small or big thing as it happens. That is also why I post these gratitude post after most things are done for the day. And today I am writing right before going to sleep.🙃

And today I am greateful for these quiet moments at night, where the world becones silent (or at least less noisy if you live in a big city) and more still and at peace. In these moments I can always find something to be greateful for. It can be from one thing to so many.🌃

So today I hope that you find a moment before going to sleep to find some little thing you are greateful for today.😊😊

It is such a great place to experience many different cultures. It is a place to meet new people and make friends. It is a place where you experience cohabiting with many different characters. It is where you learn to adaptive world and still be yourself.
And the best part is that every single hostel is unique. Each one has its own atmosphere and all of them have something special.Each one has its own atmosphere and all of them have something special. It is why I love staying in hostels when I travel. And whenever I go I learn something.☺️

I have always enjoyed colors. They show so much. In nature especialy. Even my wardrobe has almost every color in it. 😆

So today find some color in your life. Stop for a few moments and enjoy the colors around you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
