I am alive and I am Back!!!

 

Hello people,I am back, yeah 12/12/2023 somehow two years without writing, without expressing.

I went through crazy moments, I focused on work and tried to protect my mental health as much as I could.

Now , why am I back, what is happening? First I feel thank full to god for protecting me from any craziness od this world, then I thank God for blessing me with amazing experiences and people that make my life happier, better,…. Elhmadoullah I am happy

 

So ? what happened?

I did something crazier than skydiving or buggy jumping, I went on a trip to sahara in djanet by myself and I fell in love with life.

I will start from the beginning, I wanted to go to Dubai, yeah as usual I was ready for a 10 days of hot weather, swimming, tanning, sleeping, enjoying life with my best friend, unfortunately the trip was cancelled and I found myself exhausted, being too lazy to apply for any kind of visa, I considered travelling in algeria, and what can I say, I was looking for a place far enough to hear the sound of silence, nice enough to enjoy what I am seeing, and if the people around be can be cool it would be awesome.

I have contacted the agency, selected the dates, paid and started freaking out, I was going on an 8 days trip sleeping under a tent, in a sleeping bag in the desert. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Totally scared

It will be freezing, I cannot sleep on the floor, how about animals, insects, weird sounds, I was having a stressful life and I was stressing out my life more and more, and I wanted to cancel, no need to hurt myself more than this

I tried to buy the right shoes, clothes but this is not a trip where you can take 30kg, you have to be as light as possible, still you need to have your essentials.

I seat down and I have checked the pros and cons, why go why cancel? The most important cons, I was scared, the most important pros I was tired and reaching a complete burn out.

So let’s go it is time for Tadrat the magnificent Djanet

It all started with a late night, first discussion with the ladies of the group, I have met my best companion my brown sleeping bag, and let’s go , I wrote my usual few words on my traveling notebook, I have slept and started to wonder what am I doing?

Welcome to Djanet—there was a big picture at the airport terminal which is a very small room, with those ochre colors, I should have taken a photo .

And here we go, luggages in the cars , the driver was pretty nice, explaining that tonight we spent the night very near, and early morning we will move into the national park, after few kilometers and a sudden right turn we found our selves on rocky road till we arrived to our camping place, the tents were ready, just go inside get your stuff and sleep it is 3:30 am the sun rises around 6am, you will feel the hot sensation of the first rays of the morning, this is what the guide said.

Inside the tent I realized that I did it I am in djanet with a group of people that I don’t know, in the middle of nowhere, I kept my clothes went inside the sleeping bag and stopped my brain from overthinking.

The night was pretty short.

Few hours sleep , I could feel the light outside, went out and saw the sun raising up, everyone sleeping, some snoring even, but the sun was getting up, made a video for the family before to lose network, faced the sun and felt happy.

I knew that I have taken the right decision; I knew I am going to remember this trip.
