There are few moments when I don't feel an avie. So, I try to live them with intensity.
I really don't feel an avie when I'm singing a song that touches my heart, when a kid of mine gives me a hug or jokes with me and when people are sensitive enough to treat me as one of them and when I'm in nature just enjoying it. How about you? |

When it's just me and my students.
When I travel. No one knows me, and I know I won't see them again.

I couldn't travel alone and if I would do it, I wouldn't forget that I'm an avié. Guess: that moment when you have to ask for a direction, when you have to order in a coffee shop or in a restaurant, that moment when you get your suitcases lost and you have to complain... Good for you, Red. |

I seem to be alright when I'm in a midst of strangers and blending in. Plus, I want to travel SO much that it helped me work through the big challenges.
Also, usually I'm the one giving directions  Honestly, every country I've been to except Turkey (where I am a distinct contrast in appearance) I've been asked for directions. So, I manage to always look like a local which I find good. I'm good with directions and haven't really ever had to ask. And, I had already worked on being able to go out to eat on my own. And I shop in the grocery stores too so that I don't have to do that as often. I've never had to complain. Oh, once, because the hostel I stayed in had bedbugs and I got bit! (And am apparently allergic to them as I had a big reaction!) I guess the fact that I've always wanted to travel helped me overcome things. But also... I have the hardest time when I feel like I'm the focus of attention. When I'm travelling, I'm not!

You are good at directions. This a good point. I may loose myself in my own house.
I always take maps of the cities, road maps...but in the end I have to ask for directions. Have you ever come to Spain, Red? I also love travelling. But, I have a hard time with my avoidance. I remember when I went to Venezuela with my partner, I tried to savotage the trip and then, fortunately, my partner didn't leave me alone a single moment. I went to a beach where I was the only white skin person, everyone was looking at me. I felt so bad. |

I haven't been to Spain actually - nor a lot of the other places that are really warm!
