なんで添乗員辞めたのと聞かれる。もちろん、他にも理由があるけど「やり切った！」としか言いようがない！２０１３年の3つのツアーがそう感じるきっかけだったかな。
I'm now asked a lot, "Why did you quit the job as a tour leader?". Though there are some factors, I can't find any other better reasons but "I made it! I got what I wanted!". I think that 3 groups I attended must've been a trigger to feel that way.
1. 学生さんたちとのイタリア＆フランスの14日間/ 14 days in Italy and France with students
リラックスしつつも、気が抜けない学生さんたちとの旅だった！色々なキャラクターの子たちがいたなと思う。でも、共通していたのは素直で、純粋だった。だから、俺も楽しめた。トラブルの翌日のモンサンミッシェルの笑顔が眩しい！／The trip with these students was relaxing, but I had to keep paying attention to them for their safe trip. They all have different characters, but one thing in common among them was honest and pure. That's why I could also enjoy a lot with them. Their smiles shined a lot in from of Mont St. Micheal after a trouble.
2. 南米12日間/ 12 days in Peru, Argentina and Brazil.
南米の仕事て日本語ガイドがいて楽だけど、トラブルも良くある。でも、このツアーはタフなことが続いたが、本当に集中できたと思う。皆さんのこの笑顔が引き出せて、本当にやりきった。／Japanese speaking guides help a lot in tours in South America, and I feel easier than tours in other destinations, but troubles occurs a lot. Though I had been through various troubles, but I could keep focusing on my duties, and I could see my client's wonderful smiles. I did it!
3. イタリア10日間/ 10 days in Italy
素敵なお客さんたちと天気に恵まれ楽しいイタリアだった。アマルフィーでドイツとスイスを旅したドライバーのルイージとの再会。朝に、ルイージに会えるかもしれないって直感が見事に当たった！お客さんたちにもルイージの事を話していたので大喜び！／A tour in Italy with wonderful clients and weather. I could reunite with Luigi whom I had worked with in Germany and Switzerland. I got an intuition before the departure in the morning, "I may be able to see him again!", and I was right! Since I had already talked about him to my clients, they were so excited and happy when we ran into him.
あまり、ブログなどにアップ済ませたら、ほとんど写真は残さないけど、この写真は引っ越すまでに現像しなきゃ！
I normally delete photos after posting for blogs and so on, but I shouldn't forget to develop these photos before moving.
