Really tired, træt, you know? Très fatiguée… She layed on the bed, not even taking the time to slip under the covers. She turned her back to him, and curled her body in an almost fœtal position. She felt him standing by the bed in silence. He didn’t know what was going on in her…… Continue reading I am tired…
It is… So far so good! I wouldn’t want to jinx myself, but 2016 has been pretty amazing so far. And today was particularly nice to go through. I am not a yay-let’s-go-shopping girl, but sometimes, I just need to. So I put my walking shoes on, filled my bottle of water, and I…… Continue reading A good year…
Not as opposed to even… No, the strange and bizarre “odd”. I am not a prompt to judge person. Or at least, I try my best at not letting myself be fooled by first impressions. But today, even after reading a bit about it, and trying to watch a few videos to get used to…… Continue reading Odd…
Today I am testing my new walking shoes… Wanna come with me and stroll around Montréal a bit? I admit my neighbouhood isn’t the most exciting, but it doesn’t mean the walk will be dull. We can take all the backstreets, with their tiny fenced backyards and their stray cats passing by… We can…… Continue reading These shoes are made for walking…
Dear Mom and Dad, I woke up this morning in Albania. I was a bit confused at first, not quite sure if I was still dreaming, but it seems that I really am in Vlora. I just didn’t want you to worry while I find out what is going out here… I apparently live…… Continue reading Bons baisers d’Albanie…
I know some people who only speak French. And people that only speak English… I never could have done that. Very early, I discovered I had an easiness with language learning. It probably came from my interest in other languages, or at least, that helped a lot. I learned English out of pure need. I…… Continue reading Je parle…
While having a conversation about vacations, I thought about my trip to Cuba a few years back… A lot of people here in Québec go for places like Cuba, Dominican Republic and Mexico when it is time to book their vacations… It really is not surprising knowing the 4 Fs ( see my earlier post “Frette”)…… Continue reading Under the Cayo Largo sun…
I work in the technical support field. Having worked as an ambulance dispatcher in the past, I now put things in perspective, and regularly tell myself that no matter what goes wrong with what I do, nobody will die at the end of my call (or else things will have gone AWFULLY wrong). But less…… Continue reading French colors…
Today has been pretty quiet preparation-wise. I had other things to do, and it was my last day off work for a while. I had to stock on some energy for the week to come. But I didn’t want to leave a blank page in my trip’s book, so I just wanted to take the […]…… Continue reading D day -27 — The Turtle’s Journey…
Today, I am 29 nights away from my dream trip. In 29 nights, I will be standing in Montreal’s PET airport, my backpack on and my ticket in my hands, waiting to get on the airplane that will take me to København, DK. Actually, not true. I will be getting on the plane taking me…… Continue reading I sock…
