About Michaela

I am a wanderer and a wonderer, like you are. I love our journey and to walk in the company of friends – to learn, experience, share, laugh, cry and above all I simply love this marvelous, magical, mysterious life. I have no plan (cannot believe I am saying this) and my only intention is to be truthful to myself and others.

I am having a sort of a flash back. We were in Tunis during the fall of the Tunesian regime. We had some terifying moments then and no idea that Lybia would become so much worse.

At the moment we are in Tunis again to celebrate Ramathan. And in our neighbourhood are a lot of Lybian refugees. In the last couple of days I have experianced a little how it is when so many flee to an other country. Often very positive when Tunesian and Lybian come together in the spirit of Ramathan but i’ve seen tensions also.

Last night, after the fall of Tripoly, the street in our neighbourhood was filled with celebrating Lybians. Chanting and waving with flags. I felt quite happy to be able to witness this.

Greetings from a very warm Tunis

  Hi Raeof. Glad to hear you are back in Tunis. Enjoy ! Its a historic moment and hopefully the transition will be smooth. Sounds like the rebels took Tripoli without much fighting.
  
  Stay cool…
