Medenine journey

As I am expecting a lot from my journey, It was much as a surprise to be invited to visit Medenine. I did not hesitate to accept the invitation specially from the amazing Omar. My journey is still in it's first days but as I heard a lot about many places I thought that two months will not be enough.


I picked up my stuff and took a bus from Chintech to Medenine for 1 hour. The amazing nature of Gabes will always blow your mind. The road is surrounded by Palm trees with a great view to the beach not so far away.

I noticed also the awesomeness of buildings that makes the views even beautiful.
People in south has pretty much the same character but has their own way of talking with different accent. As I have just few days in Tunisia. I can't recognize the difference myself.
 People in this part of country are active and work hard. I have visited some of Omar's friends who are really hard worker and doing they best to make their lives and lives of their families better. I always believe in hard working but working smart is also a good idea.

After I saw the beautiful bracelets and necklaces made of silver and gold that those people are creating in unknown and hidden places. I realize more that I need to continue working on crafts platform.



Gsour was the amazing thing that I have seen so far in Tunisia. They are built in a weird way that I couldn't understand, I mean why they would build houses in this way if they have all the space they need to build better and convertible houses.

But after I saw it from different side I realize that it has deep and long history then just about the problem of space, back when Tunisia used to be colony of France, Tunisian people in south build those kind of houses inside mountains then it become a common house design.

This place has such an awesome vibes that want to tells you all about its history and all about the people that they used to live here. You can never realize how amazing this place till you come see yourself.
 

Medenine used to have cinema before now it's a beautiful place for free style art. Based on news I was not expecting to see this kind of art in street. System or government succeed to close cinema doors but they didn't succeed to close people from doing showing art in they own ways.
I had such an amazing time discovering Medenine, learning even more about life in general, improving my personal skills. 
As much I as I know about Tunisia as much as I know that I only will see and know a little.
Thanks Omar and all your family members for each and every moment

Good friend

Days pass by and each day was more exciting than the previous day. In the middle of my journey, I was able to see all visit many places, meet many people students, business men, young and old. One morning I was walking as usual to work. Life had giving me such an amazing opportunity to meet a special people, a good person. I was a bit sick when I met him because I tried every food possible. He offered a ride. I initiate the talk by introducing myself. Then, my room mate and finally this amazing person introduce himself. The ride was not that long to talk about everything. I gave him my business card but didn't expect him to call me at all. After an hour, He added me to facebook and ask me when can we meet and continue our talk. As much as I was surprise as much as I was excited to meet him again. We agreed to meet in evening. I think I was talking too much and fast. But we understand each others from different angle, because of my little background on business I had such a pl

Walking in Gabes

Walking is the best joyful moments you will have when you travel. I meet doctors, business mens, youth entrepreneur which I'm grateful for their kindness. Still in contact with them till today.  I'm the kind of person that remember roads, have graphical memory and I trust my Instincts to lead me as I'm walking. So, It's easy for me to tell what road to take to reach my destination, just by seeing a fragment of image or from name of street or even from taxi. Because taxi drivers always tried to take an easy way. Sometimes it's risky but HEY it's life.  I discover a lot of lovely places such as this beautiful work from AIESEC Global Volunteer.  I have been lost sometimes but I always continue my walk without worrying or afraid. I always expect the best from people without been stupid and putting myself in bad situations.   I really recommend walking because you will have no idea how much you will be amazed by the people, views, traditions and coffee
