Bonjour la France!

And actually, hello World.

Today is the day. The peak of weeks and months of preparation, the moment I finally get out there, show’s starting, time to hit the lights and the road. I dreamt about this very instant for over 2 years. The pass is ready, the path not that much, the house is emptied, my mom’s place is full of my stuff, the backpack is packed.

And yet, strangely, I’m in no hurry to go right now. The last weeks have been quite heavy on the morale, with my head full of thoughts about moving out, leaving, the last days at work, saying goodbyes… but not many thoughts about the trip itself. It’s that moment when you ask yourself, « why the fuck are you doing that? »

But well, I know it’ll pass in a few days, when the feeling of freedom will overwhelm the rest.

The day was spent waiting, and doing some final preparations. In the late afternoon, it was time to go.

My mother drove me to Narbonne, the closest train station, to take the first train of the trip. And we’re starting out in style, with a couch in a night train, straight to Paris!

OK, focus now.
