LIVING THE ISLAND LIFE IN THE CANARY ISLANDS - LANZAROTE

When you haven't travel for so long, you start to forget how amazing it is!

Just to discover a new place, new people, what's their story and how they live...I had that feeling back when I traveled to the Canary Island, and it was amazing to feel that again.

Lanzarote, the first of the three island I've been, is a Volcanic Island, everything there is ashes and lava turned into rocks, and it made the landscape unique and curious to see, I had never seen that before, and I've seen many landscapes.

Visiting the Timanfaya national park is something I don't regret for a second, I hold Lava in my hands!!! What a feeling it is..well it's hot!! even if it already turned into small stones, the lava hasn't already cooled off.
The landscape made me think, a little bit, of a Post-apocalyptic world and it was really interesting to observe, I couldn't find any tree, there were some shrubs but no trees, beaches of black sands and sun even in december...compared to France it is perfect weather in winter, since the island is very close to Africa!
I stand up on lava cliffs, to see the perfect blue sea and I ate in a restaurant that was inside a volcano cave.
We can definitively say that if you don't want to spend winter in the cold you can go to the Canary Island, 26°c during December is totally fine by me!!

What about you, where is your perfect place to spend winter?

READY FOR ADVENTURE!!!!

You're taking pictures such as the ones above, and dressed like Indiana Jones!!
Personally, I am a huge fan of adventure movies, Indiana Jones, The Mummy (especially the Mummy), Lord of the rings and more modern The secret life of Walter Mitty....All this to say that that kind of movies have greatly influenced the person I am today.
Now I am part of the few people that thinks life isn't just about how society describes it, but that it is something more, it is an adventure!
Now the perfect shop to feel more like it is "Nature et Découverte". This one is my favorite, you can find anything and everything you wish...And I would  I know about it, my family and friends bought me soo many stuff in there that I could re-open a shop on my own!!!
I've got knives, a compass, a map, a survival kit, a solar battery, a diary and a lot more that I didn't show in here, like heated cushion a Navaro stool and more stuff like that...My wish, being sponsored by them one day, that would be AWESOME!!!
Now I only have to pack this stuff in my suitcase and go somewhere I'll use them, what about the Amazonian rainforest? Is it a good plan? Probably, I'll do it sometimes soon I hope, but for now I am packing for the Canary Island in approximately 10 days, that's going to be amazing, then in one month exactly from my departure to the Canary, I'll leave for Amsterdam, so the 15th of January (Yes, finally going!!).
My next post is probably going to be about what I will pack with me for the Canary Island, are you interested in it?

What do you think influenced you as a child and made you to the person you are now?

MY DIARIES ARE OUT!!!

It's strange how things trends to evolve, you remember how you used to be when you were younger and you notice how much you've changed.
When it comes to me, well I remember how lost I was in life, the stupidest of all, was at school, I wasn't great at anything, really I was the same in everything, I did not have one subject I was great at.

At school, you always have that person who's better than everyone else and I didn't have that, you can trust me when I tell you that it use to bother me real hard!
A few years after, I started to show some interest in Tv Shows, English, and American ones and it irrevocably changed things for me, I started to get better in English, then better than the majority, and finally, over the years I was the best!
And today it makes me smile to remember how important it was for me, to find a purpose at school, because after that, after English, I still was lost, in what I wanted to do with my life, all my friends had such a clear idea of what they wanted, I was the only one to see things different!
 I was, and still am, a dreamer, I see life as it is, UNIQUE, "we only have but one life, so let's live it!!" that's my saying, some may not agree and I won't argue with you, you see life like it pleases you, but I think that we can't ruin it to please others.
In all my diaries, I cry, I complain, fell sad, happy, angry and sad again, all because I was still trying to be what others wanted me to be, to follow some stupid path that wasn't mine....then I discovered the world of travel and travelers and I can see that it has always been where I belong.
If I took some step back earlier, I could have seen it before, if I just took all my diaries like I did and put them next to one another, I could have seen the evolution, my diaries (which contains my feeling, my insecurities, my fears) had turned with time into travel diaries (which are my strength, my goal, my life) everyone does not see life as I do, I believe in destiny and my diaries were just a way to guide me, to the person I was supposed to be from the beginning!
I never knew exactly why I had to write down everything in gorgeous diaries, now I know, I am not lost anymore, I still am a dreamer, but I'm part of a group that sees life and the world differently, full of colors and cultures, a world of wanderlust!

Tell me, which object show you, your own evolution?

IF YOU DON'T GO TO RUSSIA, RUSSIA WILL COME TO YOU!!

I want to say thank you to two of my best friends for organizing this birthday supper for me. They both know I have some issue with Russia... They don't understand why I absolutely want to learn Russian and then to go there, but they know how important it is for me to do this...
So...they couldn't send me to Russia for my birthday, instead they organized a Russian dinner, one of them cooked all day to do it, she did not go to a restaurant to order, no... she cooked the whole thing, isn't she amazing? When I arrive at her place she was like "if you don't go to Russia, Russia will come to you!"

My god...I love you!!!! It was great...even better than great, the meal was amazing, I even got presents, like the whole dinner wasn't enough!
I think of it has a really good idea, if you cannot go somewhere for any reason, one special night is all you need while waiting to go there, but there is a catch to this, it make you want to go more, you eat like there, you drink like there, the place is decorated like over there, then you just wish you were there, buy a plane ticket, book a hotel and leave!! Told you there was a catch.
I still had fun, and I think it was a brilliant idea.

What do you think of it? Is it a good idea? Would you do it? Where do you want to go next?
