Badass traveller

days 82 and 83

Hello again my dear readers (if i have any). This was the best week-end of this month. The greatest last week-end of November. I lived a great adventure, that is definately worth two pages, of my adventure book.

Why? Because I travelled. I travelled not only in a different town, but i also travelled with my mind,discussed with myself and finally,found the little sparkle that it was missing from my life.

Well, i visited Paris. 

It's funny, because for some reason i thought that Paris is a bit bigger than Lille. But i was wrong.Paris is HUGE! My first hours, i was socked. 

Paris is a beautiful town, a very historic place and a grand cultural influence. It was amazing to walk there, that a huge revolution happened, there, that grand artist and poets, have lived. This feeling, so precious.

Of caurse, time wasn't enough to visit all the things that i wanted. But I did the classic sightseeing ,so i'm happy.And i don't live so far from Paris. So I can visit it again. I will visit it again.

Before go to my trip,i bought a map. Well, i found maps very useful. If you are alone, they are your company,your safe. But this time, this map wasn't my friend. It was aweful. I got lost most of the time. Thank got i know french and i can communicate. But i count this ,as the funniest little adventure of this trip. I rememered the times that i got lost and i laugh. And you know is not that bad,to getting lost. I can say, that is better. Because you see things, that nobody know. And you're not litterally lost. Every road leads, where you want to go (open translation from greek).

I found the shop from the film "Amelie" and i got so exited. For a minute, i felt like i was her. And then i woke up.

I also experienced the french ghettos. Yo. I was living in the residence of a friend from Rhodes, that he is studying this year,also in France. We had great time i think. We kind of experience the same weird things,of a first year student in abroad, and this is so funny because ,each has something different to narrate to the other. Though i believe, that his experiences are definately more awesome than mines.But ok.I'm still proud.

The most important thing of this adnevture, is that i remembered my goal of this year, that i have forgotten. And my goal was to travel. To see new things ,to meet new ideas ,new culture,different ways of life. Neither to find international friends for life nor to find the love of my life. My soul is desperately seeking new routes. This is my sparkle. That is when i'm fearless and ready for everything.

My old me is finally awake!I start to search my new destination and prepare my new little adventure.This is the point of this year. I forgot it,but i have time to fix it. 

So for this reason, i found my optimistic side again. And i'm feeling so badass.And yeah,i am!

No more problems.Ok the money for travelling, might be a problem, but i will find a solution.

Yeah!

Now the badass traveller,have to go to the super market :P . Yeah, we can't survive without food. Hahaha.

Goodmorning my fellows,

it's a new day,it's a new start.

Go for it!

Day #76

Well this is not exactly an adventure...But is the most wonderful thing,that i heard this week.
It came from the mouth of a young french guy,friend of my erasmus buddy. Well this guy,he has a girlfriend,that he seems to love her a lot.So today, he was saying goodbye at her,and after that he came to us and said "shh don't speak,so you can hear the heartbeats of a "falling in love" man".

I'm dead. What a nice thing he said. So romantic,so naive. Ι want this man!!!

Everybody says,that in erasmus you can easily find your other half. Well i thought that it will be like this. But yet,nothing special happened. Exept that i kissed, an aweful guy with pink t-shirt (JESUS)!I don't say that i'm desperate and i want to have a man here. I'm just saying,that i prefer the french or the spanish guys and here, there are a lot. So,where the hell are you my dear,romantic,other half ??Stop hiding,i need to get over the previous love.

So that's for today.I'm happy that i have to write only the epilogue,to finish my first dissertation (3 more left...). Though i said,that i'll wrote it today,i did nothing (classic) :p Exams in less than one month,i'm getting a bit freaked out.

Oh i just remember one little adventure ,that i'll be lucky to participate in. I will play in a scene of "La leçon" de Ionesco,in 10 days in our university.We will have an international week,and all the classes of foreign languages here at the uni, we will play the same exact scene,in different languages. I will play it in french, but there will be also in greek. Isn't it that sooooo amazing??!YEAH!!

Well, à bientot!!

Day #71

Day #71

Well, after two weeks that i've had a little bit of depression, i must admit that,this weekend i had an amazing time. (compared to the previous ones).

"Are you crazy,depression in Erasmus? "
Well actually yes.

Everyone thinks,that once you get to the university,you make friends instantly,with other erasmus people, and you go out and partying hard and everything is cool and amazing. But based on my very recent experience, i think that this happens only after a few months. And only if you're a person like that.
So my first two months, i haven't met anyone who i could travel with him, or do the simple things like go to a museum, to the cinema or just for a walk or eat together. I made some friends,but let's say that we weren't exactly the best combination. And I felt that I don't count as a friends for them. At first , I felt sooo disapointed. I was seeing other erasmus students that they have found a company and i was asking myself "what's wrong?" . But finally,i realised that the problem wasn't ,me. And thankfully,i have met other few people ,so i decided to find them and try to built a foundation for a good friendship with them.
So now, i can say that this plan worked! And i'm so happy and releaved. The only thing that i was needing, was time, a plann B and a little bit of faith. Et voila! The best recipe.

Well let's pass to an another topic. 
Cooking!
Cooking- Danae= 1-0
Oh god i'm such a bad cooker!Hahahaha the WORST ,i think. 
I decided this week, to shop different food from the previous weeks. I don't want to eat pasta or hot dogs anymore. So I buyed eggs and potatoes (wow). For lunch i boiled the potatoes,with oil and lemon,it was nice,i liked it.For dinner i decided to cook an omelette with cheese and bacon...very easy,isn't it?! Well I managed to burn it! I'm dreadfull....

At the afternoon, i got really sad and hurt by my kind of very good friend,back in Greece. She didn't send me a message on my birthday....First big mistake...And then she said to me some things that they really hurt me. I mean ok she is anxious of her new role and so on , but she supposed to be also my friend.

I'm a girl guide (scouts) for 15 years now...it's the first time that i stop, because i am away from my team in Athens. I miss it soooo much. Volunteering is my life. I want to be again,in action. And i miss my team,my kids,our funny moments. And my friend,put a fence between me and my team,with no door in it. I can only see... I want to help and she doesn't let me. It's fucking VOLUNTEER my dear, you cannot deny the help. Well she hurt me before.... 

And now, after two cup's of tea,i'm coming to my conclusion. This weekend was beyond so good! I went to a vintage market, i ate candyfloss, then i went to a bar with my erasmus buddy, i cooked with my new friend,i visited a very cool exposition. Yeah,was a good one.That's for tonight.

Bonne nuit,Good night, Buenas noches, Kαληνύχτα,Noapte bună
