Français I like this Anglo-Saxon expression. Overseas: literally "beyond the seas, overseas". To understand: "elsewhere, abroad".
A promise of other continents and distant horizons. The more I am caught up in daily life, the more I dream ofoverseas. Always, this irresistible desire for elsewhere...
I promise, I will come back to tell you about Asia, very soon. From my last escapade, in July, I still have to tell you about my island stay in Derawan, off Borneo, in the Celebes Sea. And then to edit my underwater videos shot in Sipadan...
🙄
But since my return, at the end of July, another overseas trots in my head.
A still vague project. I was hoping to make it happen in the spring, maybe. And then, a miraculous and unexpected free time slot appeared in my September schedule, at the very end of the month. Ah, there, there... How could I resist?
So here it is: I decided to cross a new ocean, to go across the Atlantic. Destination? Montreal!
All I have to do now is read the travel guide Montreal from the Quebec publisher Ulysses. thanks to Pascalfor his advice on the subject, always wise. And to think that I still haven't found the time to dive into it... (Note that there is also a digital version to download, like the Lonely Planet.)
Anyway, for once, I don't take my diving equipment with me and I fly to the West instead of heading to the East!
A first for me. I have never set foot on the American continent before. The two times I took a transatlantic flight, I stopped just before, In the Caribbean.
In Montreal, I'm going to visit some friends, who are living there for a year. And I hope to finally meet, "in real life", my colleague Marie-Julie Gagnon.
No bubbles in the forecast, therefore, for this Canadian week. But new discoveries, a change of scenery of another kind. An American and urban trip in French-speaking countries, which promises to be fascinating.
How I love to feel that little trepidation inside, that excitement that is reborn with each new travel project. It's more than impatience. An irrepressible desire to go and see elsewhere... overseas.
🙂
