I woke up slowly as the sun rise thru my window... birds are flying all over the sky celebrating the day to come... I lay here on my bed thinking... sinking in my dreams, being quiet to the sound of my heart beat... first ray of sun touch my skin, my heart beat faster sparkling to his golden touch... smile on my face, my eyes catches all the beauties around me... frost on the grass, snow layered over the mountains... 

I am on the road again after some time spent home. Shooting for our dream can be hard and I feel lonely sometimes... Going back to my roots was necessary...

In a society where people daily feed their spirit with Fear, walls grow between human and Love. We prefer easy, fast social connection, avoiding any "real" contact with other human beings, and we build superficial social life thru media and internet. Our whole life becomes a virtual world, shallow and cold.

My sister, Sophie and her daughter, Amelia picked me up at the airport and welcomed me back in Washington. I was happy to see them. Her son Henry grew up alot since the last time I saw him.

I'm in Port Angeles dog and house sitting for my friends Jim and Linda. I met them last year with Michael and Mariela. I also came back to PA to pick up my belongings from Pangea and say goodbye to her as Martin bought me out. I was sad to say goodbye but that how life goes, it wasn't time for me to sail away...

Previous to my house sitting, I stayed with Mariela and Michael who became like family to me. We spent good time together sharing their love for cooking. I learned how to make home made pasta and pizza, it is as delicious as simple. I get the chance to see them every week for Friendly Friday Dinner and meet their friends. Last dinner they invited Sandra and Jon, a very interesting couple. They decided to work hard young and retired young. They moved to PA few years ago. They invited me to hike with them on Hurricane ridge the other day and I had a lot of fun.

Living for my dream of traveling around the world solo gave me the opportunity to reunite with my European family, my sister and brother. It is something I needed to grow up, family connection is special.

I always wonder why I was so attracted by the idea of traveling, meeting other cultures and seeing the earth further than the ocean that was surrounding me... I'm slowly getting closer to the answer...
