Altitude Sickness On Mont Aiguille

Return to basics...

Hi! :-)

Time is flying like crazy.... It seems that the more you're getting old and the faster it goes...
Do you take the train sometimes?
I really like to take it... I usually travel between Lyon and Paris... It takes 2 hours with the high speed train... 2 hours to listen music, to read, to watch a movie, to speak and discover the guy seat just next to you, but also to have a look to the window and admire the country scene or two hours simply to be in my mind and think about life... always trying to understand stuff that happen...
Life that people are living can be stressful, busy... and we try to do our best to stay strong and fight every problem...
The best way to stay strong and take the good decision is to feel good!
When I feel good, I mean really good... I want to smile all the time, I want to say hello to everybody and to speak to everyone... I want to organize plenty of stuff and do cool things... It just the perfect feeling ever!

So... Don't forget the simple basics of life...

I think that everything begins with these three points:

- Eat well (With good product, vegetable and more, cook by yourself!)
- Sleep well!
- And do some sports!

This is very simple but when I look around me... not everybody is doing it... Don’t you think it’s important?

1 month later...

Hey you ;-),

Woww... This first month in Paris was busy... I did not have a lot of time for my self...
I came back pretty often in Lyon to see friends and had a lot of fun...

This is actually the first WE that I spend alone in Paris... I needed to do it... I need to think... hahaha... I need to clear my mind, to try to understand what I've done and where I want to go...
Well... I started to get sick in the beginning of the WE, so it was not that easy to think in a positive way... I was a bit down...
Today I feel a bit better, and I was thinking how important in life it is to follow what you like... and where you wanna go.... Life is a fun road... and thankfully, not a straight road... and you can easily get lost... So you have to be strong, to clear your mind and to have some self-confident to take the good decision in your life...
Well, anyway… that was the thought of the day, and I am going to run a bit to stay in a good shape!

See ya!

WE in Ireland!

Hola amigos,

Here is a review about my little "2 days" trip in Ireland!

Well... Why Ireland? in the beginning, my goal was to visit my "Basque" friend Michel. He is working in Bristol UK for Airbus, the airplane company... But as there is not much to see over there and we both wanted to surf somewhere, we decided to meet in Ireland...

I took the plane from Beauvais - France to Shannon -Ireland and spent 2 days over there...

Agrandir le plan

One the first day, we decided to visit the "Kellarney National Park"... So we walked throught the park between eavy rain and a nice sun... Very pretty and very Irish ;-)

Then, the second day, we drove to Dingle to join Castlegregory beach in order to surf a little...We found on the net a surfshop over there... Surfing is not an easy sport... I started to surf when I was in Australia (6 months in 2006) and then I almost never surfed again... I was not very good at the time so I did not really execpt much from this surf session...

But we caught the perfect day! It was maybe my best surfing session!

The sky was cloudless! The waves were like 1,5 meters high and easy to catch... It was the good fat waves perfect for long board or mini malibu... Only 8 surfers in the water!

The real surfer's dream!

Only the water was cold, 11°C, but with the 5,3 mm wetsuit, I was never cold! Only my head was hurting a little when it was under the water... But overall, everything was perfect!

Surfing was for the morning... We took the time to visit Dingle in the afternoon before the way back to Shannon...

And then... it was already time to flight back to Paris... :-(

This trip was awesome... It looks fun like that and I did not even talk about the good time we had in the Irish pub from Anascaul and Sixemilebridge...

GOOD TIMES!!!!

But really too short! I'll have to come back for sure!

Paris! Here I am!

It’s kind of funny how I did not really realize that I was going to move…. Until I had to pack… to carry my luggage (one big and one small mountain back pack, one big traveling bag and another bag….) through buses, subway, train and other subways….

Moving is like writing a new page of my history… So It’s exciting and It makes me feel weird… I lived a lot of important stuff this past two years… Important for me… Good times and bad times… I kept the good ones and used the bad ones to make me stronger!

Moving is also looking forward, and take the decision to leave stuff behind…

Anyway… I have a very nice flatmate and I feel good in my new place,

Tomorrow will be my first working day and it should be interesting!

For now, here is on the picture below, the view from my room! ;-)

I am moving!

Dear all!

Today is my last day in my parent's place in Lyon :-)
I lived there since I came back from Indianapolis...
So tomorrow, I am moving to Paris for 6 months, I've got a 6 months contract to work with Veolia Environnement on a project about two big rivers "la Seine" and "la Marne"...
It would be very interesting so I am quite happy.
The funny thing is that I never wanted to go to Paris and work there... But finaly, to live 6 month there will allow me to discover this beautiful country and meet new people and I needed that! :-)

Ok... I have to finish to pack my stuff... ;-)

See you!

Exploration in my GrandPa's well... ;-)

There was legend in my family about some bottle lost in a well...
60 years ago, when there was no fridge to keep your bottle of wine in a cool temperature... My grand pa use to put them down in his well, but one day, the basket he was using to bring the bottle out of the well cracked and he lost some bottles.... For his 100 birthday, we decided to verify if the legend was true... ;-)

Feeling of happiness

Today I feel... Good! :-)

I won't write on this blog everyday to share my mood... But I thought that after the previous post I had to say something....
What I write is my feeling of the day... Writing makes me think about what I live... what I think, what I say will surely change through the time... People change!
So today... I feel happy... And I did not find love... ;-)
Just many nice things happen to me these last couple of days... I met many nice people and I needed that, I will have an interview for a great job, I went to a great party yesterday, I got my feeling back to listen some great music and play the guitar... I guess that's enough to make me happy... or is it the alcohol from yesterday night party which still works on my happy mood? hahaha

Anyway... It is a nice state... and I enjoy it!

Hope everyone is fine!

What do you need to be happy everyday of your life?

Hi everyone who will read this message! :-)

Since few months... I have not been able to be happy for a long time...
I went in beautiful places, spent great times with very good friends, did stuff that I love like rock climbing, snowboarding, I listen to the music that I love, I played on my guitar.... But at the end of the day, when I am back home... I am kind of feeling sad...

When I was young I was afraid to try stuff or experiment new stuff because I was thinking that you cannot miss something that you don't know about... I wanted to be happy by myself with the fewer things possible... I did not want to be addicted to anything so I could be happy with nothing... It was like that for stupid stuff (never sleep with a pillow to be sure to be able to sleep in every situation! hahaha) to more serious stuff ( I was afraid about going into a relationship with someone because I knew that I would miss it so much if something happen...)... Is that stupid?
I still like the idea to be able to be happy with nothing... Simply happiness! But...
But if you don't try anything you won't change... Maybe you don't want to change... but if you don't change you won't improve yourself... Do you think that you are great enough that you don't need to change?
I don't think so!
Finally, after many years of happiness by myself... I felt kind of stupid because there are a lot of things to do on earth and I did not know anything... Is not that stupid?
So I started to change! :-)
Now...
I still sleep with no pillow... hahaha... But I tried love... I felt in love with someone and this one loved me.... And love is the strongest sensation I've ever tried and had...
Since few months, the love left me... I feel like I am not able to be fully happy...
It is like if I lost my wings...
I am still able to breath, to talk, to run, to laugh, to eat... But I feel that I cannot fly anymore....

So... What do you need to be happy? To be happy everyday of your life?
Nothing? (you need nothing or nothing make you happy? ;-) )
Your iPhone? ;-)
To love someone?
To be loved?
To be famous?
To have a lot of money?
To live close to your parent's place?
To have 500 friends on Facebook?
To be in love?
To live in a big city, or in the country side?
To be with someone who wants to conquer the world?

These days, and in France in particular, People look to never be happy and this makes me crazy!
Are we that in demand?
Looks like for a lot of people, when they have what they want, they want more, better, again and again... looks like it's never good enough.... looks like they are NEVER happy with what they have...

Ok... On this message I say that I am not happy either.... But the only thing that I want is love...

As nothing has made me happier than when I was in love and be loved... This should be enough to be fully happy... no?
Everything more should be only bonus... no?

Can you be happy without the love of a GF or BF?
Or is only the love of your friends and family is enough for you?

What do you think about?

Few days in the Mountains

Hello!

Few days ago, I spent 2 days in Briançon with my little brother Calixte to visit my cousin Antoine.
I needed to leave my town, my parent's place, my thought, my worries, my job research... Well just needed to clear my head, spend some time with my brother and my cousin... Have some beers, talk about our life experience...
These two days were awesome!
We had a great weather so spent our time to snowboard instead working in my cousin's new flat... haha!

GOOD TIMES!

Here are some pictures:
