Can you imagine a travel in train from Paris in the morning and in the next 4 hours be in another place completely different in terms of weather, landscapes, people interactions, architectural development, and so on?

How can we describe the cool and warm sensation felt in the high altitudes? Feeling our position in the heights, in the middle of such splendid terrain is a humble and powerful attitude of knowing how we are part of a shared, dependent and unique system.

How can we describe the feeling of seeing mountains everywhere with ice in the peaks with that brilliant white color? Either if you are walking in a popular street or in a small, calm street or if you are are sitting eating an ice cream or some traditional french food or having a snacks while talking about casual things or simply meditating and thinking how the things are going. This is your place. This is a great opportunity to reflect about your more deeply questions.

So, let me share you this incredible trip experience I had on those lands and I hope this can be a kind of source of inspiration when you go to somewhere near the montains or even better, when you visit this side of the world. Gracefully, our world is vast, rich and creative that has endless landscapes.
