Mi año 2015 ...

- 2 meses en el distrito 12 de París con un amiga muy "cercana"

- 2 meses en Asia : encuentros hermosas, visitas memorables, momentos intensos con amigos y extraños y mis mejores "submarinismo" de la historia !

Pero también una muy mala encuentra en Bangkok :-(
 - De regreso en Francia seguido por varias semanas de felicidad y de un periodo muy oscuro... (sin proyecto de futuro y con una moral baja)

- Pocas semanas como secretaria médica (contratación y formación)


- Una semana de trabajo voluntario para un festival de música "Pete el mono"

- Una idea loca de trabajar para el departamento internacional del ENM (Escuela Nacional de la Magistratura)
No es tan extraño porque era finalmente gestionar la logística de los misiónes en los envíos al exterior de expertos (5 meses)
Un lugar muy agradable de su ubicación geográfica (Isla de la Cité en Paris), pero también muy agradable ambiente de trabajo, la orientación internacional de la misión (agencias de viajes, ministerios, embajadas ...) con un equipo muy entusiasta!

- Cumpleaños del niño que elegí no tener que hace 15 años...

- A pocos meses en el distrito 15 de París, mini-habitación, pero maxi-libertad

- Retorno al deporte con mucha envidia : 3 meses de boxeo tailandés y squash
Resultado: liberación emocional profunda y bienestar físico y moral intensa
Extensión prevista para el 2016!

- Las propuestas de dos hombres que me hacen propuesta de hacer un niño, en serio?

- 2 períodos dolorosos de atentados en París, demasiado estúpido, demasiado cerca...

- Una propuesta de trabajo en Tailandia para gestionar villas de lujo en Koh Tao...

- Una propuesta para quedarse en París, en la ENM con cambios de posición, de estato y de salario...

- Reflexión intensa y una decisión!

- Un compromiso en una Asociación de París (Los Hermanitos)

- Una oportunidad agradable para vivir en 2016 (barca japonesa en el Marne)

- Y una familia que entendamos mejor y mejor, amigos, siempre presentes a pesar de mis largos períodos de viaje...

Estoy contenta de haber tenido la oportunidad de vivir hasta hoy, estoy feliz de simplemente estar vivo y si muero mañana sólo espero que registrará que viví plenamente, libre y feliz!

Tres de mis abuelos (Suzanne, Pierrot et Georges) y "padres" (Philippe, Ronald, Gary, Frank ...) extrañamos, pero muchas de parientes viven en buen salud.

Estoy rodeada de buen humor, soy 35, estoy soltera sin hijos, pero tuve varias experiencias de amor intenso, varias carreras formativas, me ofreció largos períodos de vida en el extranjero después de une vuelta del mundo increíble ...
Le deseo toda la felicidad del mundo y un grande ano 2016 !!!

Petit bilan de mon année 2015...

-  2 mois en colocation dans le 12eme arrondissement de Paris avec une amie très proche

- 2 mois en Asie ponctués de très belles rencontres, visites mémorables, moments intenses avec des amis et des inconnus et mes plus belles plongées à ce jour !
  Mais aussi une très mauvaise fréquentation à Bangkok :-(
 
 - Retour en France suivi de quelques semaines de bonheur puis d'une période très sombre... (sans projet d'avenir et avec un moral en berne)

 - Création de mon statut d'auto-entrepreneur pour une mission trop courte mais rigolote (assistante sur un tournage dans Paris pour un épisode de télé-réalité américaine)

-  Quelques semaines de secrétariat médical, recrutement et formation de secrétaires-remplaçantes

-  Une semaine de bénévolat pour un festival de musique "Pete the monkey"

-  Une idée saugrenue de travailler pour le département international de l'ENM (Ecole Nationale de la
Magistrature)
Pas si bizarre finalement puisqu'il s'agissait de gérer la logistique des envois en mission à l'étranger d'experts (5 mois)
Un cadre de travail fort agréable de part sa situation géographique (ile de la Cité) mais aussi l'ambiance de travail fort agréable, l'orientation internationale de la mission (interlocuteurs divers : agence de voyage, ministères, ambassades...) et l'accueil extrêmement enthousiaste de toute l'équipe !
 
- Anniversaire de l'enfant que j'ai choisi de ne pas avoir il y a 15 ans...

- Quelques mois dans le 15eme arrondissement de Paris, mini-chambre mais maxi-liberté...

-  Reprise du sport avec envie et assiduité : 3 mois de boxe thaï et de squash
Résultat : profond défoulement, bien-être physique et moral, intense
Prolongation prévue pour 2016 !

- Propositions de 2 hommes de me faire un enfant, sérieux !?

- 2 périodes douloureuses d'attaques à Paris, bien trop stupides, bien trop proches...
 
- Une proposition de partir travailler en Thaïlande pour gérer des villas de luxe à Ko Tao...

- Une proposition de rester à Paris à l'ENM avec évolution de poste, de statut et de salaire...
Une réflexion intense et une décision prise !

- Un engagement dans une association parisienne (Les Petits Frères)

- Une chouette opportunité de logement pour début 2016 (jonque japonaise sur la Marne)

 





- Des amis, toujours présents malgré mes longues périodes d'éloignement...

- Une famille avec laquelle on se comprend de mieux en mieux, et des amis, toujours présents malgré mes longues périodes d'absence
 






Je suis heureuse de ce que j'ai eu la chance de vivre jusqu'ici, heureuse d'être en vie tout simplement et si je devais mourir demain j'espère simplement que l'on retiendra que j'ai vécu pleinement, libre et heureuse !



Trois de mes grands parents (Suzanne, Pierrot et Georges) ainsi que des pères (Philippe, Ronald,
Gary, Frank...) continuent et continueront à nous manquer mais nombreux sont mes proches en vie et en bonne santé.



Je suis entourée de bonne humeur, j'ai 35 ans, je suis célibataire et sans enfant mais j'ai eu plusieurs
expériences amoureuses intenses, plusieurs carrières professionnelles formatrices et je me suis même offert de longues périodes de vie à l'étranger après un incroyable tour du Monde...
Je vous souhaite tout le bonheur du monde et une excellente année 2016 !!!

Charming encounter...

I came back to France weeks ago and I think it's time I wrote about what happened when I left Battambang in Cambodia to go to Bangkok and Ko Tao in Thailand.

When I arrived in Bangkok, my first goal was to find a place to stay.
After spending an hour looking for a cheap guesthouse, I realized that a lot of old memories were coming back to my mind... (I visited Bangkok many times 5 years ago with my ex-boyfriend, some friends and family members)

In a minute, I felt tired, thirsty, hungry and lonely… 
I had crossed a shitty border and spent hours in buses. I decided to stop walking for a minute and smoke a cigarette to let this wave of sadness go as fast as it came.

I looked at the people in the street and asked a guy for a lighter.
He was smiling at me and asked if I was in trouble when he saw that I was about to cry.
I said that everything was alright, I had just been overwhelmed by old memories, I just arrived from Cambodia and needed a cheap place to stay.
 
He introduced himself, his name was Rommel, he was half-jamaican half-english and just arrived from Ko Phi Phi were he was working in a tatoo shop, on his way to New-Zealand to visit his mother.
After a 10 minutes conversation, I decided to visit the guesthouse he was staying to ask if they have a cheap dormbed for me. 
And I was "lucky", they had one !
My day just started to be brigther…
I was happy to finaly drop my bag on a room floor and was ready to explore Bangkok.

Later, I accepted to go out have some food with this guy.
We went to an indian restaurant next door, so good and amazingly cheap. Conversation was fluent about travels, family and so on.
We decided to meet again the next day… and the next day… and the day after...

I spent 3 days having a lot of fun, discovering this "nice" guy full of surprises…
We went to the swimming pool, walked around the city, had food & drinks in different places, I met some of his thai friends, we went out dancing in a club, did a one-hour tuk-tuk ride around Bangkok...
We shared and laughted a lot.
He was very generous with people in the street, locals asking for money or tourists for cigarettes. He even bought a bottle of water for a guy vomiting outside of a club at 3 o’clock in the morning !
He nicely offered me to brought my dirty clothes to the laundry with his the day I decided to have a massage.
Once, he asked me to close my eyes in a restaurant and put a bracelet around my wrist as a gift.
It was a bit too much but I decided to just enjoy the present moment, I was going to leave soon.

As often when you meet people while travelling, you have different plans than them and at one point, you have to say good bye.

The day I was leaving he asked to use my iphone because he wanted to send a message to his mother, I gave it to him and said I was going to meet him at the reception later because I needed to have a shower and pack my bag quickly.

After my shower, I packed my bag and realised a lot of money was missing…
A little voice in my head immediately convinced me that he took it and that he wasn’t going to wait for me at the reception with my iphone and, sadly… I was right.
Clothes, phone, money… I « just » lost around 1000 euros !!!

But how did I also lost my instinct to avoid bad people ???

In 3 days he had done everything to make me trust him…  
He even had tears in his eyes talking about his complicated family story...
I was a pray since the first minute he saw me, that's for sure. 
He knew exactly what to do, what to say, how to say it and when...
He is a professional lyer, manipulator, robber, scammer, thief...
Real name : WASIM NASIR from IRAN.
The worst guy I ever met...

If you meet this guy, don't trust him, never ever... 
He will just fly away with whatever he can take...



I had been trying to write about that for weeks but couldn't.
I hope this post is going to help me free myself from guilt and help others to be more careful than I was.

CAMBODIA - Battambang

I'm already back in France but I still have a lot to publish about my 2-months trip in Southeast asia.
As often when I get back, I'm feeling lonely and disoriented…
I hope that publishing about the end of my trip will help me to deal with that...

My last cambodian stop before crossing the thai border was Battambang (mid-march 2015).

 Central Market







 A cinema, not in use anymore










I discovered this pretty quiet town with a rented bike and 2 girls I met at "Tomato Guest House".

Abandoned train station




 





 Abandoned airport





Cambodian circus







Bamboo train













Bat Cave
