Author: janaline's world journey

I am addicted to travelling and have been exploring the world for nearly two decades. Here I share my travel stories and pictures so that you can share in some of the amazing experiences I have along the way. When you travel you experience the culture and get to know the people of a country. Once you step out of your comfortzone you get to know the real country and experience it in a different way than ordinary tourists. My camera usually accompanies me everywhere I go so you can "see" and read about my journeys.

Monday. The sun is out, spring is in tbed air. Some gardening and a stroll in nature lifted her spirits. As she cycled home with her face turned towards the sun she could feel the energy flow back into her tired bones. 💙
Sunday. Resting, recharging with art and stories. 💚
Saturday. She can see how she is slowing down. Her body in need of some movement and rest. Her mind in need of some play. She finds movement in dance, play in her art and quiet rest with a book. 💚
Friday. She think she did a lot, thinks she got a lot done but then again she thinks she might have forgotten something important....so to stop herself from over thinking she got into bed with a book and lost herself in a world of magic. 💚💙
Thursday. She decided to use the cold rainy weather and the fact that she had cycled a lot of hills today as an excuse to have hot cocoa and some dark chocolate after dinner. 💙
Wednesday. She was reminded that although the sky might seem grey today, this difficult time will not last. Soon the sun will shine again and. 💚
