Hello blog, this is me...

 

I forgot how difficult it was to write a blog post, after the pretty decent break I took from blogging. As I said in my previous article, I got started on a blog that didn't exactly represent who I am, and wasn't happy with its content. But my life is about to take a big turn, and with all the change in the air I was hoping to start over again and try to produce regular, quality content on Maddy's Moon.

The past month and a half has been very busy, packed with enriching  experiences and nice people. I've visited a friend (the one from Tours -give it a look-), spent hours exposing my pale bum to the sun in good company (no results tan wise, what did I expect ?). I did a week long work experience in a chocolaterie (This one, precisely) during which I learned a lot, I don't think I'll ever be able to eat « cheap » chocolate ever again in my life ! The chocolatier was so nice and welcoming, I regained a bit of my lost faith in humanity.

I'm writing all of that nonsense whislt on holiday and am being flooded by booming, 14^th of july music. I'm not going to say I actually like the music, but it's the first time I've ever been to a holiday camp were the residents were sweet. Everybody seems to get a lot nicer now that I'm going away... I'm absolutely shattered, after spending the day playing tennis and biking around for 40km (talk about holidays!), but the Marais-Poitevin is beautiful and I'm glad I payed it a visit before going away. But you won't see this post until I come home, I promised myself I would take advantage of the poor internet here and not come close to a social media platform for a week.

I've had plans to leave France for a while now, and it's all coming together. My ticket to England is booked for the 28^th of July. A complete change of scenery, a hoped for breath of fresh air, mabye ? I am excited, but saying I'm not afraid would be a lie : I've spent 13 years of my life in the butt-hole of the world village in which I live, I barely know anything else. I'm sure I'll be staying with my grand-parents for at least a month, and then...then I have no idea. But I'll keep you posted as soon as the bluriness that is my future wears out...

My computer is completly fucking up at th moment, but I'm going to do my best to find a way to keep you posted about my adventures.

Thank you for sticking with me through my come-back rant,

See you soon (promise)

Wanderlust part 2: Overseas

Welcome to the second installment of my wanderlust series, this time I'm going to stop being reasonable and share with you all of the places I would go to...If I won the lottery. As a big daydreamer, I had a look at the plain tickets for each of these destinations (come on, who doesn't do that?) and spent the rest of my day crying from despair (well...five minuts, realistically). Here are a few places I would kill to visit :

New York City, USA:

Obvious, I know... Who doesn't want to go to NYC ? I think I wouldn't know exactly what to look at in the big apple. The fashion ? Central park ? Bagels ? Ulta (hum...) ? A friend of mine is going to see the statue of liberty at the end of the year. She didn't invite me. She is no longer my friend.

Tokyo, Japan :

I've been a fan of japanese culture for as long as I can remember. I think I would have an absolute blast in Japan, as I love just about everything out there : the mangas, the food, the karaoke... In fact, one of my life goals is to get my hand on a green tea kitkat, in its natural habitat.

Sydney, Australia :

I don't know much about Sydney, but why not ? My cousin just went to Australia on holiday. He's not planning on coming back. I guess he enjoyed himself out there ! My secret love for the australian accent is slowly pushing me to a flight overseas.

Marrakech, Morocco :

This one isn't as inacessible, that doesn't mean it's not as attractive. The colors of Morrocco blow me away in every picture I see of the country. The people seem as nice as the traditionnal pastries are tasty... and that says a lot.

Montreal/Quebec, Canada :

Both of these cities look very active, full of parties and cultural stimulation. The french canadian accent is absolutely hilarious, and I love their humour.

Cape Town, South Africa :

Look at this picture and tell me you don't want to visit Cape Town. 'Nough said.

Singapore:

I have to blame Jenn from Clothesincounter for giving me an itch to visit Singapore. You can watch her vlogs here. Doesn't it look gorgeous ?

Here you go ! Hopefully I'll be able to visit these beautiful cities one day. Did you go to any of these corners of the world? Which countries do you want to visit ?

Have a lovely day,

Maddy

Wanderlust part 1: Europe

Travelling aound the world is one of my life goals. The only countries I ever went to are France and England, but I would love to dicover new cultures, new ways of living, eating, different architecture... There are so many places I fancy visiting, but today I wanted to concentrate on the more accessible ones, showing you the city/countries that I would choose to go to first, if for some reason I had the opportunity to go on a trip across Europe.

1 Milan/Italy

Actually, I find all of Italia super attractive, a tour of this entire country would be a dream : Rome, Milan, Venice, Pizz...I heard so many good things about « the boot » (well, if you don't plan to LIVE there, you know, as a stranger...). To be honest, I know very little about this country, yet another reason to discover it all.

2 Berlin/Germany

Germany wasn't on my « to visit » list, until I saw this blog post by gh0stparties, now it's right on the top of it! Berlin looks like such a creative, colourful city, with so much history and, being underaged, you can be sure I'm not saying that because of the beer !

3 Madrid/ Spain

Madrid more than Barcelona because I want to use my newly acquired spanish skills. And come on, it's not THAT far from where I live, an absolute must!

4 Budapest/ Hungary

« My awesome Budapest, my hidden treasure chest... » (George Ezra). That's about all I know about Budapest though, apart from the fact that it looks amazingly beautiful, which is enough for me to want to give it a visit.

5 Santorini/Greece

I am going to blame the british crew of youtubers, for giving me that sudden hurge to go spend a holiday in Santorini. This city looks so surreal, all blue and white, surrounded by the sea, it looks a lot like a film set. Plus, I would kill for some good greek yogurt (not the crappy thing I have in my local supermarket).

That's it guys, these are a few more accessible europeean places I'm planning on visiting one day. I'm going to be making my Wanderlust posts into a series, next time I'll tuck into my dream destinations from all over the world.

Which places do you want to visit ?

See you next time,

Maddy
