New resolution

Attracted by Trephina Gorge throat this famous tree a hundred years Ghost Gum, I'm leaving this time filling my bags with fruits, vegetables and organic food. More expensive but I found again the pleasure of eating, to get better energy, better health and respect the earth by not participate with industrial product. and Also happy to share my delicious food with the nice people that I met during my journey.

The negative point is that it is also much heavier : Problems ! and no money for help me this time : Rear rack broken, tire damaged and spoke broken....Fortunately lovely people are in Alice Springs, gave me a new rear rack much more strong and change the spoke of the back wheel ! Thank you so much again to permit me to continue my journey ! (because all  my money was left again)

So i left Alice Springs with no money and hope the last food that i got will feed me until i find a job on the road. Lucky me, after 2 days, I found a Nice farmer gave me some work for 1 week. 

I continue my journey with plenty of money for feed me until Darwin (I hope) and offer me cold drink and ice in roadhouse !

Actually my back wheel is not straight but she'll be right ! xD hope will be fine until Darwin ! :S
Second resolution : buy a strong bike for touring and got front panniers or trailer to balance the weight.

follow what I feeling

The only things we can plan is to be surprise. That's totally right. But any way I don't have any plan, I follow my way without any obligation. My rythme is free, I don't need to rush or to compromise, I stay if I feel that I have something to live in and i leave when its time To live something else somewhere else.

I dont care about the time, about the money or the distance. What ever the weither forcast, my only guide is my intuition.

And then I continue my journey under the heat, get harder and harder, I got two spokes broken, my wheel turning not right at all. And then I decided to hitch hike to Katherine for fix my wheel. I got two road train, one aboriginal truck driver and the other one Maori (from NZ), both of them shared them culture, was nice time again on the road.

I want to tell you that my purpose is not to cross the country on all the road by bicycle, its not about a pride or a success, its about to live right with my heart. We don't need any possession for to be glad. Simple pleasure give you more time for you in the present time.

Arriving at Katherine, so hot and humid, I become sick the first days, terrible head sore, But was until I use to of this new temperature. Its incredible how my body cure so quickly.

Surprising, I met a Taiwanese living along Katherine river, so I join him to live in the tropical forest as long grass people. Living so close of the aboriginal, I spends lots of time with them and learn so much about them. In Katherine, I feel the aboriginal are more open of Alice springs, they welcome us without asking money at the end, they propose to join them or whenever I want to join them I was always welcome with joy. They was glad to teach me them languages, introduce me at them family and to looking after me. I love to spend sometimes with them because like they said, we are all family and The most important is to be together. I thinking about my family and friends in France that I miss and love so much.

I spend time in the hot springs, river and gorge of Katherine. Esley national park is wonderful, so much good time with my Taiwanese friends who join me every weekend, we have a lots of fun together, we do have lots of meetings, inhabitants with that we helped and they share with us by them lovely heart.

Many good memories in Katherines : The bats at 7pm flying along the river that I admired every day from the riverside, all the moment that I share with the aboriginal, played with the aboriginal kids in a hot springs and the river, help the inhabitant at them usual life and spend my times with Ching wei in this wonderful country. I feel so much more the true happyness when its share with somebody.

The last post : Calm after the storm

Arrived in Darwin for 3 weeks during the Build up season, Sleep in outside where ever, bite so much by the mosquitos and woke up many times by the storm. I worked one week as a Pedicab rider for purpose to buy a trailer and to cycling with my friend to Kakadu. worked from 6 pm to 6 am every nights, very hard to sleep during the day : wake up sweating by the terrible heat and humidity... So happy to get the trailer !

Think about Denise, My Ozi Mummy ! who find me sitting on the street and propose me to stay in her room of the hostel for few days to have some rest. I was so Happy to met such a fun and lovely lady, and to sleep during the day in a cool place :P for few days, have a shower etc... We still keep contact.

And then I cycling with Ching Wei From Darwin to Kakadu during the build up, every day the storm manifests itself, Start by feel the wind and see that the clouds is already above you, see the amazing lightening and startled by the powerful thunderstorm. Was amazing cycling every day, But quite hard with the Hot (35-40 degree with humidity) and the big rains. 

My mind continue to have new perspective, its mean a lots to me. I realize that traveling with a constant movement, brought me many discovery about my self and the country, and I learnt enough now to realize that its time to travel by remaining, Time to Involve in the country to Live, to share, to built, to help...To Have a deep relation with the country, with the population and many others important fact that I couldn't have in movement. And from now, I can keep Learning and discovery by the spirituality where ever I am and what ever I do, Something that I ignored, but my journey changed it.









My friend and I stayed longer in Jabiru because I burnt my foot badly with boiling water and have to wait that I recovery. The clinic was free and a nurse look after me very well, a loveling meeting, A men with a big heart, who share it with his childrens and the aboriginals kids of differents communities around Jabiru.
After 10 days, When I start to move without the crutches, my friend got the opportunities to work in a supermarket, so he worked, and I got a job as a kitchen hand and dish washer in a golf club, I was without any money so we need it. After a week, we feel that is not right because we are vegan and doesn't fit with our living, so we quiet the job and decided to fly to Melbourne and have a balancing life, living with all our heart.

Now, I am in Melbourne and wish to settle down here for a while. I looking for a ethical work, and then a share house (Idealy with vegetarian/vegan or conscious people), involve in vegan/humanity associations, volunteering in community garden and dancing tango argentino, salsa and 5 rythms. 
 and Let it go !

Expect to travel in New Zealand and Asia.. or Come back to France and Traveling from Europe to Asia... But from now,I will not try to go every where, but choose the places or the places will choose me, not for see the beings living but to live with the beings and see... 

I understand better now why I hear many times : "you can not go everywhere" it is not about the possibility, the distance and the time...

The detachment

Living with my push bike for 9 months in a Country where I didn't feel familiar at all, in a simple living and in a constantly movement I practiced the detachment. The material detachment, but  also the inner detachment who will lead me to the inner peace, the eternal happiness and Harmony life that I looking for with the environement and all beings.
