After waking up yesterday in front of Such A beautiful dawn in Manilva (click on it to enlarge the photo, finally done with my new camera), It Was Time to Move to Cartagena . Now it’s time to go northern and if before I was feeling like I was going away from Berlin, now I feel I’m really going back home. It’s a relevant mental shift , and I think it’s the right time to make an assessment on some aspects, even though the full one will come once the mission is completed.
I thought more than once on how people around me reacted and morally participated to my adventure:
-My friend Alessio Beltrami , the first I told my idea to, has been supporting and helping me from the early beginning. He’s a dynamic person, too: he will soon move to Japan , check his blog , I’d be glad if some of you could give him suggestions.
-My mother has not had a heart attack when I broke in with the news, and that means a lot. My father, who has always had the soul of an adventurer , was proud of my idea. The two of them were happy with what I was about to do from the first moment.
-A lot of friends , relatives and other people I have met in my life have been showing their enthusiasm, helping me concretely like Ema hosting me in London and Andrea giving me some useful contacts, or following my blog and sending me messages to show appreciation and to know if I was doing fine. I realized that what I’m doing is the dream of many.
-Moreover , a lot of people I didn’t know before have been helping me a lot -like Eulalie hosting me in Paris, Edurne and her family in Bilbao, and in general everybody related to Couch Surfing- or they have just been getting in touch with me to say they like what I’m doing and enjoy my blog entries.
This is my fuel . I wanted things like these to be my fuel.
On the other hand, some people behaved differently . There are people I know I don’t expect nothing from, full stop in this case. But there’s also people I have a close relationship with who haven’t reached out: not an e-mail, not a message, not a single word for best wishes. Nothing, even though everybody knows how important I consider what I’m doing. Furthermore in a couple of cases I’m feeling tension in the air.
And this is not my fuel. Even though feeling the challenge or reacting to negativity has historically worked in important situations of my life, for this journey I have decided since the beginning to only keep positivity as my fuel.
It’s usually easy to be glad about positive things, and on the other hand I should be sad about the negativity I’m facing, but I’m not: I’m happy instead, happy that this journey is making me discover not just new things, but also the truth about aspects and relationships which were already part of my life.
And I feel at peace with myself.

Yesterday, after waking up in the face of this beautiful sunrise in Manilva (click on it to see the big picture, finally done with my new car), it was time to move towards Cartagena. Now the north is the direction to follow and if before I felt like I was leaving Berlin, now I really feel that I'm coming home. It 's a change of view important and I think it's the right moment to take stock on certain areas, although the overall amounts'll pull a mission accomplished.
More than once I paused to think like the people I surrounding reacted morally and got part of my adventure: "My friend
Alessio Beltrami , the first one I talked about the idea, encouraged me and helped right away. He too is a person far from static: it will move very quickly in Japan , have a 'look at his blog and see if you have any good advice from him, I'd be happy. My mother-
has not done a heart attack when I gave her the news and this counts a lot. My father, who has always had the spirit of an adventurer , responded to my idea with pride. Both have shown themselves happy about from the outset.
- Many of friends, relatives and others my knowledge have expressed their enthusiasm, helping concrete such as Ema I stayed in London and Andrew passed me useful contacts, or by following my blog and contact me to express estimate for the company or to find out if everything was fine. I've got to understand that what I'm doing is dream of many.
-Plus , many people who did not know before have helped me a lot-as Eulalie I stayed in Paris, Edurne and her family in Bilbao and in general all those associated with Couch-surfing or simply have to live without me know that you appreciate what I'm doing and read my post nicely. This is my
fuel. Things like that I wanted to be my fuel.
other hand, some people have behaved in a manner different . There are people from whom I expect nothing, and that is that in this case. But there are people with whom I have a close relationship that have not had to ever hear: Do not e-mail, not a message, not a word of congratulation. Nothing, though the eyes of all has always been clear what I'm doing what I think is important. Moreover, in a couple of cases I feel that there is some tension air. This
not is my fuel. Although historically felt the challenge or counter the negativity has worked in key moments of my life, for this trip, I soon decided to take positive as fuel.
It 's always easy to feel happy for the good things, and then on the other hand I would be sad to feel anything negative. Instead, they are not, am happy that I'm doing this trip not only discover new things, but also the truth about some issues and relationships from before were part of my life.
And I'm at peace with myself.
