So I'm finally "awake" again after visiting the M'era Luna and the long train journey home yesterday.
M'era Luna was just great this year!
The last time was years ago and this year was my first time ever camping at a festival.

I was so lucky with my tent group which was organised by my sister; everyone fitted together perfectly and camping with them was so nice and felt really safe and comfortable.
This also helped a lot when I got a severe migraine one day and was overwelmed, which was absolutely no problem with the group and I was able to create a safe space for myself despite the unfamiliar terrain.

As a festival, I find M'era really interesting compared to other festivals I know. In fact, I find it really "difficult" to compare it to another festival, as it is somehow its own concept.
For example, I found that at this festival the focus was less on the music and more on the scene itself due to the mass of side programmes such as workshops or the medieval market which was right in front of the entrance to the festival site.

I'm already really looking forward to next year's festival!
