Today it is exactly three months and four days ago that my dream became true and this “just half a world away” trip began. Last month traveling became normal life finally. Everything works like I have never done anything else before. I have to pause to realize that I’m right in the middle of the greatest journey of my life. In these moments I can’t keep back the tears of happiness.
“Open your hearts and find your wild.”
To avoid living in routine I keep the adventures ongoing. I’m still seeking for new challenges continually. The last big one was the diving trip at Similan Islands. The hardest issue was to control all fears and panic from one exhale to the next. Now diving is my great new hobby. But it still takes me an effort to leave my personal comfort zone and to tread on unknown territory. Tough every time I made it, I was incredibly happy.
“Everything happens for a reason.”
That became my motto for relaxed traveling. It took me this world trip to internalize this sentence. I use it when I had to change my plans compulsory or I unhappily didn’t get the option I considered it’s the best. And the end I was always delighted.
“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.”
Now traveling is less about the places you see, it’s about your experience and the people you meet on the road. I became well aware of negative people who waste my energy and create a bad atmosphere. That’s only a short introduction and I focus on myself again. So it feels like my heart is fill up with more love and peace continually. Everything happens to us is just made by our innermost thoughts.
Liebe Heike, freu mich immer schon auf Deine Betrachtungen und Gedanken zum Reisen und finde es wunderbar was dieses Abenteuer mit Dir macht. Und dass Du Dich auf die unvorhersehbaren, fordernden, faszinierenden, ungeplanten 😉 Dinge so einlassen kannst. Das kann Dir keiner mehr nehmen 🙂 Weiterhin gute Reise und liebe Grüße, Anja
