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!

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.

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!

I did indeed take all those photos, and I have a couple hundred more stored in my folder. I actually didn't take as many photos as I wanted to during my stay in Morocco as I didn't want to look or feel like a tourist. I was already getting enough attention because of being a girl with white skin. Wearing sunglasses helped ignore the stares and invitations to talk. My classmate said that I unfortunately don't have a poker face, that is so true, haha!

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.

Absolutely! Especially when you plunge yourself into a different culture, where everyone speaks a different language. This trip has made me realise how interesting and diverse the world truly is. I would highly recommend such a trip to others, and better yet, learn another language while you're there. I've also met many wonderful people from all over the world, and I would love to visit them again some day.

Here are some descriptions of the photos that I've shared:
  • The first photo is Singapore. We usually fly through Changi Airport as transit, but this time we decided to stay in the city for a day. It was incredible! The climate is warm all year round, the architecture is very unique, and even though the city is very modern, there is a lot of greenery, with the gardens being a key attraction site. I will most definitely visit it again!
  • The second photo was taken on the very first day of our arrival in Russia. The forest was all frosted over, and it was a very sunny day so everything sparkled beautifully, it was magical!
  • The third and fourth photos were taken in Morocco; one is a garden in the city I lived in (during the sunset), and the other was a weekend trip out of the city that my classmate planned (and I tagged along). The old suburb in this particular city that we visited is the most ancient one in Morocco, and it's like a labyrinth! We got lost almost instantly, and not even my compass helped us figure out where we were supposed to go. We would just walk around the streets (which is like one big marketplace) until we accidentally found a way out. I took the photo when we walked up onto the rooftop of a particular building, and suddenly everything becomes quiet, and you only see the other rooftops all around you. It's like a canopy of a rainforest, in a way.
  • The last two photos that I shared were taken in Paris. The winter weather wasn't pleasant, but all the more reason to visit the museums and stare in awe at the beautiful architecture from the inside.

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.
