To scare your new utopia fears

Serious confession to yourself

FRANCE | Monday, 25 May 2015 | Views [105] | Scholarship Entry

Last summer when I was working in France for "au-pair" (nanny) for a wonderful family I get a chance to discover Paris and "être Parisien" with "Bonjour", "croissant" and "merci" every day - all museums, parks, universities and French chic. Amazing? Yes! Till the moment, the best moment of the all summer - Bastilia Day. We were small group of friends going to celebrate this day but in the middle of the crowd I lost them. I was just opposite the Eiffel Tower, three, two, one ... the long-awaited fireworks started, celebration started, all laughed. I tried to call your friends, but there was no chance to reach my friends.

Then I said quiet "mehh" and started to enjoy celebration, but you know - how long if you can't share the joy with your friends?
Then I started to think about all my previous adventures all around the World and then I face confession to myself, it was serious one! You can see the most breath-taking views, the most beautiful fireworks but it is nothing without friends because every story needs a characters with hearts and listeners or readers.

During all my travels I have discovered more myself and I appreciate it! Sometimes it is good to travel alone, but sometimes you just need to meet a new friend and heard a new story to get inspired!

Therefore for now and always I can recommend this quotation to all travellers - “If You Want to Go Fast, Go Alone. If You Want to Go Far, Go Together.”

Thanks for your time you spent reading my life confession! But now I am going to pack my suitcase - tomorrow youth project in Lille, France. New emotions, new adventures, and new stories to share with wonderful, new people I will meet.

Airplane 6:45, you are also going somewhere?

You should! Say hello to your airplane passenger next to you, even you don't know him, probably he will tell you something life changing!
