SUR MA ROUTE
Here is a picture of the total route I've done :
WEEK 12
F:)CK TH*S SH°T
Yeah : the last part. Happy and unhappy to write this, happy for my healt, unhappy because I really didn't want to return back to Belgium, but I had no other choice. This is why :
So this is how the story ends ;
ಥ_ಥ
The first night in Italy some lady dropped me in a little village close to Milan. I felt shitty but nothing new there, though his night was different. I took a couple of medicines and crawled into my bed around 20h00. I slept until 16h00 the next day (!)- that is about 20 hours of sleep - and got woken up by some Italian farmers who were surprised to see me still sleeping on their field. They started to speak (Italian) to me, the only thing I really remember is the the world was spinning, and I thought I was dreaming (not a good one) or whatever because suddenly there are some old people speaking Italian to me - WTF - that was so surreal. So at the end the ambulance came, got to sleep in the hospital for one night and they told me after taking my blood and all the rest check-ups, I'm okay. Just have to take another antibiotics treatment. I couldn't really believe this because I felt really terrible but again they assured me I'm "okay".
After this I got to rest in a B&B for a couple of days (the insurance paid for it). After this I visited France, Monaco, Andorra. Andorra was very nice, but hitchhiking to Andorra from Monaco was just so exhausting that I decided not go continue to Portugal or Spain. I was planning on going there and try to overwinter somewhere in the South.
And then I still felt tired so enough is enough and I took the TGV back home ( My parents bought a TGV ticket for me). I went ONE TIME to the doctor here and he immediately saw what was really the case, 'toxoplasmose', probably by eating unwashed vegetables. Once home I had to rest for 1 month, and I felt tired for more then 6 months. I was carrying the disease somewhere at the beginning of the second month, so almost 2 months of travelling with this, explains a lot.... (BURP)
(*▽*)☞ Sooo :
Don't always trust the doctors in foreign countries, because I had the feeling they don't really care that much. Or it was just me having bad luck with certain doctors. Anyway listen to your own body is the most precious advice I can give from this trip.
And wash your vegetables ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
But it was also me and the will to keep hitchhiking that I didn't want to return and hoped that I would just recover on the trip.
Anyway it was a fantastic experience! Just amazing and life changing on so many ways for me.
I will write a review on this trip soon ( Link will come here then)
Take care to who ever may read this and may your vegetables be ever in your favour.
Ciao ciao (brown cow)

WEEK 11
Yes and No
Tutuuum , the trip is almost at his end even tough I tought it would get better. But so what happened this week : After sleeping in the garden of the house, I went back to the same café and did a little walk in Chamonix. At the end of the day a bartender offered me a bed in his appartement, really great. Normally it would only be for 1 night, but at the end it turned out 1 week.
I got slightly better and went to do some sight seeing in Chamonix, and got some fantastic vieuws @ l'aguille du midi from the Mont Blanc. I even saw some wing suiters jumping off the cliffs, was crazy to see. I do some skydiving to (still a noob (ง'̀-'́)ง ) but it is my dream to do some stuff like that ever in the future, so it was amazing to see this. I got some very nice mental pictures. And by seeing the moments, the hiking and my the bad/i'll condition I was in even got me to quit smoking, what really means a lot to me
☀
After this I thought it would be nice to go to Italy, but from this moment on it would get really hard.
I started hitchhiking in the morning from Chamonix and arrived in the afternoon in Italy.

WEEK 10
Mt Blanc in vision
Soo, what's up 'homies' => I left Switzerland to go to see the 'Mont Blanc', I really wanted to see the highest region in the mighty Alps. Again met some really nice people who helped me out. I started to hitchhike to 'Chamonix-Mont-Blanc', I never heard of it before, but people told me it's really nice and the perfect spot for checking out the Mont Blanc.
So I did, but ended up in the wrong valley the first night ....... Lame. At the end it was really nice there, kind of cold @ night there, temparatures dropped to almost 0°C at night, something Iwasn't prepared for but yeah......... Still I wanted to see the Mont Blanc! So I stayed only one night in this valley and arrived in the afternoon (with a really nice/fancy car I remember) in Chamonix.
Unfortunately I felt really tired and sick again, so I went to the doctor the first time and he told me I had a bad cough, little fever and had to take antibiotics for 7 days and assured me I'm good enough to keep travelling, even tough I told him I slept in a tent and felt really, really shitty. I guess the will to keep travelling and his advice made me believe I was fine to keep travelling, something that soon will be proven very different.
Anyway, after Mr Doc I stayed in a bar whole day, making sure I'm not having cold and asking around if people now couchsurfing here. Didn't got any luck I started to wander around in Chamonix and I found an old 'abonded' house in the middle of the town, with a gardin. So I took my chance there. Sick and sleeping in a tent with temperatures around freezing = stupid plan ((=^.^=)).

Stupid idea to keep travelling :
No ☐
Yes ☑
Yes ☑
But life lessons to be learned here (>‿◠)✌
