Travelling
for 5 weeks could be a lot or could be not enough and becoming the beginning of
willing more…When we started on the 31st of December 2012, I was thinking it is
a lot. A lot of time and a lot of travelling. Now, I am back home since 2 weeks
and I will start all over again, for 3 years or more :-)
I wrote in
the title back to « normal » life but in fact my life is not
« normal » anymore after this trip…and there were only 5 weeks!
Even the feeling of sleeping and waking up in my own bed is different...
Some people travel for 3, 6 months or a year…If these 5 weeks make me
feel that I will travel from now on everyday of my life exploring my days like
a new and most wonderful day ever…then what is happening when travelling longer?
Must be amazing!
I grew up
in these 5 weeks more then in the last five years. Meeting people from so far
away, talking to them, knowing them in their everyday life it helps to realize
different things, things that maybe one knows in theory but never experimented:
- all people around the world like to eat, enjoy some moments of their life with family and friends…sleep and work
- all children play and laugh in a wonderful way
- time, distances and cultural differences are RELATIVE
- everywhere are good and bad people
- learning is a process of change
- traveling is enhancing every experience helping in finding out who you really are and what you really want
The
planning of this trip started because of an old friendship and the desire of keeping it alive. It was the most important objective and together with it were
coming alone the discovering and exploration of new places and people. In the
same time the relationship with my partner grew stronger and our perception of
the world more universal.
There are
many ways of travelling and experiencing so I will not give any advice on that.
Though, I will have a suggestion: do whatever you do with the thought you are a traveller on this life and there is no need to carry the entire house with you because home is everywhere…
