Back from Vacation
Hello hello, my fairy friends! I've recently come back home to New Zealand, and just wanted to flit on by to greet everyone and to let you know that I'm happy to see you all again.
Please excuse my absence as I have been fairly busy while travelling here and there, from one country to another. My trip comprised of a LOT of wonderful experiences, the bulk of which were during my stay in Morocco (learning French while living with a host family). It's difficult to explain in just a few words what my trip has been like, but it's as if I've travelled to a completely different world. There were a few bumps along the way so I unfortunately wasn't able to meet up with a friend in Europe, but when have you ever heard of a trip without any problems? Now I've come back home with rather mixed emotions - feeling invigorated, much more confident in myself and ready to face all the upcoming challenges, but at the same time also feeling a bit lost, with lots of questions to think about... But that's just life, isn't it? I'll be keeping myself busy this year, but I haven't forgotten about the projects I've started here. Plus I'm really looking forward to getting back into drawing more, so I'll continue to upload pixie or nature-related pictures when I complete them. Before I forget, I've uploaded a few photos of my travels to my private album here on PHF, just to give you a sense of the variety of places that I was able to visit. It's incredible how many different places there are in the world; you can explore them all your life and still find something new for yourself! Let's just say that this isn't the end of my adventures but only the beginning! Spoiler for Photos:

Welcome back, Alexia! We're so glad to see you again!
Those pictures are stunning-- did you take them all yourself? It sounds like you had a nice time, although it's a bummer you couldn't meet up with your friend! I can imagine you must be tired after such a long trip, but I'm looking forward to hearing more about it (and also curious about what sort of questions you are thinking about?) when you are settled in again. |

Welcome back Alexia! It's very nice to meet you again.
Wow, what a very wonderful and relaxing vacation (sound you have a very enjoyful time, yes?) I simply enjoy looking at the dark clock (maybe Big Ben?) and also the cityscape on the first picture... it looks very modern and enjoyful. |

Welcome back, Alexia, it's great to have you back!
Those pictures look amazing, how wonderful that you got to visit all of those places! Travelling to so many different countries really can feel like visiting a whole new world, can't it? I'm sorry you didn't get to meet with your friend though.

Welcome back, Onion!
It's so cool that you were able to visit all those places. To have that opportunity must have been incredible.

Thank you so much, everyone! Your kind words mean a lot to me. To be honest I've started feeling like I came back home only after a week has passed. I've been moving so often these past two months, that it felt like my stay here at home was only temporary as well. I've actually been feeling more energetic than ever when I came back, because I was still keeping the same momentum that I had obtained during my trip. Gotta keep moving, hehe!

There's certainly a lot of things that can be talked about, but for me it's mostly the little details of the journey that are the most precious. Like the conversations I've struck up with those I sat next to during my flights, or not purchasing a first class ticket on the train in Morocco and experiencing all the chaos of the second class (it was very amusing, by the way!), or how people kept coming up to me on the streets or the subway asking for directions to which I replied "I don't know, I'm a tourist myself!" In regards to my questions, I'm currently at a crossroads where I need to decide on what to do during these next few years, and how that can help me in the future. I would actually love to move somewhere else in order to challenge myself and live a bit more independently, but at this point in time it's just not a feasible option. So, that's my turmoiling thoughts in a nutshell. Quote:
Here are some descriptions of the photos that I've shared:

Thank you! I was surprised at how smoothly my travels went, I think my parents were more worried during my trip than I was. It was my very first independent trip (without family or friends), and I absolutely loved it.
I added plenty more photos for you all to browse in my private album if you'd like to see them.

Welcome back to the forums, Alexia!
Glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation. I rarely get the opportunity to go on vacations unless it's a family gathering, so I'm glad to see the photos that you've taken and that you had an enjoyable trip.
