Living in The Clouds. Next Destination - Sunshine

Hello everybody,

Recently I've been very quiet here just because for the past 5 months I've been living in the clouds. Literally. Every morning waking up, looking through the kitchen window and seeing mountains covered in snow and these big fluffy pillow clouds that sunshine goes through from time to time. The experience was magnificent. Or extraordinary as good old Attenborough would say.

Of course from time to time I started to take things for granted and forget where I was living and what I was doing. But when you are flying on your snowboard you stop for a second and just take in all that beauty that is thrown right at you. Sorry, I have to swear, it's fucking awesome!

So apart from enjoying the surroundings, having fun with snowboarding, I met some beautiful people here. Good laughs, good times, great vibes. The company I worked, actually still working, took good care of us which always makes your life so much easier.

It's slowly coming to an end. The slopes are empty (which is amazing) and the grass is starting to come out little by little. Next week we are all leaving, giving a break for these beautiful mountains. 

So many people told me that doing a ski season was one of the best times in their life and now they are all addicted to it. In fact, I completely agree, it's great here and you get so much time to be doing things you love. From now on everytime it will snow I'll be thinking about snowboarding, about getting on untouched powder, remembering the feeling of flying. I'm sure I'll do it again.

On the other hand I am missing my water, ocean, lakes, rivers and of course my favourite season-summer. No shoes, one dress, camping, warm nights around the fire and all the goodies that comes with a sun.

Next stop- seeing my great friend and beautiful gorge du Verdon followed by exploring Tenerife island and helping out at animal shelter there. Can't wait. Will be great :)

Have a beautiful April!

My Month in The Alps followed by Unexpected Accident

Bonjour,

Snow. Sunshine. Mountains. Forests covered in snow. Full Moon. Parties with no afterparties. Fun. Snowboarding. Laughing. Socialising. Ok ok you got me. Yes, I am doing a ski season in the Alps.

It's been more than a month that I'm in this tiny little ski resort.After skipping cold winters in Europe I decided that I miss that beautiful snow and having fun with it. So here I am.

I work in a beautiful Chalet and I'm doing the easiest job-hosting people who come here for holidays. Job is easy, life is really easy too. I get a chance to snowboard everyday (apart from Saturdays, big working day!), I get accommodation, my food, little salary, what else do I need? Ha!

It doesn't feel really french here. Everybody speaks English so you MUST be very motivated yourself for learning french. It's kind of living in a little bubble with not many problems and a lot of fun. Sometimes it is good to live like that. For a while, I guess. Or longer :)

Snow is here and when you are up in the mountains where all you can see is mountains covered in snow and your feet ready to get going on your board it really feels special. The air is clean, the space is huuuge. You really become one with your board, you start flying in your own rhythm together with nature in front of these beautiful mountains.

I feel like snowboarding will teach me a lot and I can't wait to go on my board again and again...

And then...just after writing this another day some little accident happened. I was in love with speed and it just happened that I fell off my board and tore/stretched my foot ligaments.

Now in front of me is a week off work, trying to recover, a month (according to the doctor) without snowboarding. O dear! Life is still good though because deep inside I feel that I will be back on the board earlier than expected. Positive vibrations :)

I wish you all exciting adventures, isn't it what it is all about?

Merry snow!
