Pedaling Through Provence: Exploring Vineyards & Why I Travel! 🚲❤️
So I have been staying in the beautiful town of pu with my friend uh who I met in South America and her family the de and it’s about 30 minutes from ex and provon and today what I’m doing is taking the electric bike thank you and I’m going to the French Legion
They have some wine they have a cafe so I am taking the bike on a 15 to 20 minute ride through The Vineyards look at this I’m going to go grab lunch maybe buy a bottle of the wine that the uh that they make there and just going to
Enjoy this Sunday afternoon my friend is working packing parachutes cuz she’s a a badass and this is the beauty of being in a place like this in provance where it’s just absolutely perfect for going for rides it is hot today it’s probably 97° F so it’s not the coolest day but it’s too
Pretty not to get out and do something so uh yeah let’s go check out the the invalid fren I’m butchering it but I’m Trying so I’ve been thinking a lot about why I’ve traveled after 7 months in South America I figured out that it’s okay being alone that sometimes you need to be alone to work on things but then I wonder like why do I really travel what
Is it that I’m doing out here and it all comes down to one thing I think and uh I just kind of realized this thinking about it you can hear the sakadas in the background SAS I travel for love the love of new places the love of new food the love of
New cultures the love of new friendships the love of of pretty much just uh love of myself being out here so everything I do I I give love I spread love and that’s just the way I think it is to be in the world while I’m traveling and why
I travel is for it’s all love everything I think happiness is giving love and and then eventually I think when you do that you meet people and they you meet people and they they give it back in whatever way they can and it’s cool with that said be you be authentic spread
Love and uh enjoy the World one handed not a great idea don’t try this at Home Folks bad News so they have a cafe behind me might check that out and a boutique where we can buy some wine made here it’s a beautiful little property up in PR all right it’s 1:00 p.m. here it doesn’t open up again until 2:00 p.m. so I’m
Going to go to the cafe get a bite to eat and then uh sit there for an hour have AOS cuz this is known for the Ros and then we will come Back so it is hot so I came here and I got a beer Cafe I use my terrible French to get a beer tell them I don’t speak French and say thank you so I think that’s a success a success because they didn’t look at me like I was like H
What’ you say they understood what I said which is great I feel accomplished today that I spoke nothing and it got me by doing the bare minimum so now I’m enjoying a beer it’s beautiful come here get a get a little meal maybe something to drink and then go to the
Countryside so here in the legion uh it’s where a lot of older people are and in this specific place they have a boutique where you can buy wine that’s actually made here you can see the vineyard behind me so I bought two bottles I bought a f a
Rosé and a red so I’m going to take this back to my friend and enjoy some French wine because French wine French cheese life doesn’t get much better than that let me tell you call me a Frank ofile call me what you will I love friends so a beautiful thing happened
Here I’m at the cafe and I’m having a beer and I meet this woman speaking English to me because I’ve been using French and they try to speak to me and I tell them I don’t speak French but it’s still terrible so she spoke to me in English and I had this
Great conversation and her daughter lived in San Diego which is where I went to school and lived for several years so in the middle of this small little area in provance I meet a French woman speaking English to me about San Diego so I think the more you engage the
Better your experience is the more you talk to people the better the the travel gets if you’re scared to screw up with your language you’re never going to get anywhere you have to just be bad and accept it you’re trying you’re going to fail it’s all right but if you keep
Going at it and keep trying and keep doing things you’re going to have amazing experiences French speaks way more English than what people give them credit for I mean their English is way better than our French so to be honest thank you France thank you French for
For indulging us in your English because we very much appreciate it I’m speaking for all Americans who try to speak French if you’re good at French kudos to You
