The people I am lucky enough to meet, my family and especially my children, make me discover the beauties of this world I live in and in which I want to live fully.Thanks to my son I am discovering other countries. It has always been my dream to see other ways of eating, thinking and living.
First adventure in Barcelona where we are to meet. He is there for a conference as part of his work. We only share a meal at lunchtime. I'm determined not to be left with this feeling of disappointment. I have to get used to being alone and force myself to move. I decide to organize my days. After breakfast, I visit the city with a map in hand (yes, I'm a paper person). Parc Güell, Sagrada Familia, Les Ramblas, Montjuïc park, the Ciutadella park... Once a day destination restaurant: Peruvian then Spanish.
Second adventure in Malta: Sliema and its religious processions, Valletta and the history of the crusades, Blue Lagon by boat cruise, the island of Gozo.
Third in Lisbon: tiled facades, guided tour in English (I didn't understand everything but I loved it), Sintra Palace, cod, Belem Tower and that seagull that stole the last pasteis de nata I wanted. I'm holding onto that one.
Fourth adventure in Singapore; luxury hotel with all that goes with it, casino, Marina Bay, show in the artificial forest, Chinatown, first Korean barbecue and first soju (I wanted to try it out as I'm a big fan of K Dramas since my daughter introduced me to them).
Last adventure so far in Bali: scooter taxi, beach and sunset, warung, Tanah Lot and lots more to see. I am happy. Even if the change of scenery on arrival made me want to leave by the first plane, I have no regrets now.
All this love, all these discoveries, all these encounters, all these riches that I am lucky to have acquired. I don't know if I'm burying the past pains underneath this beauty. But I hope to heal them sooner.My former job, which I sincerely loved, left me with little free time. Now I have the opportunity to write (as you can see). In short, travel and writing; I am fulfilling my lifelong dream.They say it takes ten good things to make up for one bad thing. I'm determined to take as many good things in life as possible to balance the scales.
I still have too much to live for, too many big projects.
