Chronicles of a Heart in Flip-Flops - The Roads That Shaped Me (French Edition) Volume 1

You board a plane alone. You think you're going "on a trip." In reality, you're going to get lost.

At 24, Nicolas arrives in Bangkok with a backpack, a faded old dream… and the illusion that he's in control of something. Except Bangkok controls no one: an all-nighter, a disappearing wallet, instant encounters, decisions made on the spur of the moment, and that strange feeling that real life has just begun — brutal, funny, vibrant.

Chronicles of a Heart in Flip-flops – Volume 1: The Paths That Made Me is a travelogue that is at once hilarious, raw, and deeply human, where every struggle becomes a lesson, every party a mirror, every silence a transformation. From Khao San Road to night trains, from jungle treks to lost villages, from electric islands and nights to unexpected moments of grace, we follow a narrator who discovers that finding yourself often begins by letting go of everything.

- What you will truly experience

- An addictive, direct, evocative style that imprints scenes in your mind.

- Encounters that feel like appointments, and goodbyes that linger.

- "WTF" episodes (the kind you can't make up) and moments of pure beauty.

- An internal quest without the blabber: intimate, funny, sometimes tender, sometimes violent.

Who is it for?

For those who love authentic travel stories, biting humor, true tales that smell of the road, sweat, neon lights, the jungle… and that question that always comes back, somewhere between two borders:
"And me, deep down… who am I becoming in all this?"

Open this book. You might laugh. You might recognize yourself. And most of all... you might want to leave too.
