Chapter Three | The Taste of Freedom.. Belgium

I guess I will always remember This Moment,

I started the Engine of my lil Camper, packed to the roof,
with tons of long-lasting food, reading material, hundreds of sheets and clothes
and the most important thing:
My Guitar, AMP and Vocal Cords - that would allow me to buy all the Things I may forgot or find Myself lacking during this Trip, exploring this wonderful and exciting World !

The Concept of my World-Trip:
Playing Streetmusic everywhere I Travel to, to keep me Travelling .

Compare it to a young bird, spreading its wings for the 1st Time!
I started the Engine, kissed Mommy and Daddy-Bird Goodbye and then moved those tiny Wings the hell up and down :D

Maybe you find yourself asking is a 20 y/o really a Baby?
In Terms of making my own decisions and finding the REAL ME - what every Artist needs to!
YES!

It was my first Step off the beaten Path!

Out of the State of Mind only to live for the Weekend,
Out of constantly wishing the Days to pass faster = wishing Weeks to pass faster,
what leads to LIFE PASSING FASTER !
Out of accepting what Life I should live,
and Starting the Life I would love to Life!

Dont be a sad little Gear Wheel ,
that always tries to fit and accepts Life to be unfair and stressful!

Life is wonderful, full of adventure and fun, and WORTH LIVING,
but only If you listen to you Heart !
What do you want to do, what makes you happy, what are your talents?

Dont let Community give you Permission to be Yourself!

Take Action of your Life - Nobody else will!

and always remember - You only have this ONE LIFE TO LIVE!

mama mia... i got a lil bit off track! just want to make sure you take this huge opportunities life offers <3

Picturesque illuminated Part of Namur just below the Castle.

My first Duette with a Belgian Nylon Guitarist - it was a dream :)

Felt quite bonded to this cool Fella, guess Community complained but his dreams to ride a turtle, too (;

Center of Tournai
Love those flags - feels so ancient <3

Remember to give your diligent explorer feet a proper treatment :p

Dont know if the hygiene was just on point or it was that singer-charm - New Friends!
And Belgians and Frenchmen always welcome themselves with 3 kisses to the cheek :o
I guess my shy self needs some time to adapt to this ^^

A lovely evening spent with the new made friends - note: really sociable nation <3
Felt welcome from the first second and also got a free shower -
maybe that Hygiene wasnt that on point as I thought :D

Funfact: Tournai is one of the oldest Cities in Belgium. Its huuge Church Notre-Dame is one of the UNESCO World Heriatge - althouhg a little bald in my opinion :)

The Waterloo-Monument. The Place of the Battle of Waterloo - Napoleon Bonaparte´s last fight against Allies.

Photoskills over 9000! :D
