The Sahara has always fascinated me, to me, it was a place I’d dream about, not one day become a true destination. I loved Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s “Wind, Sand and Stars” and became obsessed with the magic that inspired “The Little Prince”.
This journey made me realize that there’s nowhere unreachable, nothing unachievable, all Little Prince needed was the sun, the moon and the stars to be happy. And that’s pretty much all I did out there in the Sahara. I saw the sunrise everyday with my dear camel and counted stars (two shooting stars!) when the sun went down, I never felt more serene and grateful for the universe.
It was the most strenuous trip I’ve ever embarked on but possibly the most rewarding of all. The Sahara has taught me many things and I’ll never forget the Berber tribe that shared their lovely home with us. The starry sky will never look the same to me again.
