I will be recording my journey but unfortunately I don’t think Wifi is that abundant over there. I know one month isn’t really THAT long but seeing as how it’s my first experience out there in the foreign world without parental guidance with just me, my cousin, and our backpacks- I feel like I should write a little blurb of my thoughts pre-journey.
I’m nervous, clueless, but with a ravenous sense of wanderlust. Getting away from school and work is as exciting as it is scary. I don’t know what to expect but I suspect I my soul will develop immensely afterwards (if I even get through the trip alive.) I’m at that chapter in my life where I’m supposed to move on from school and find a job/career that i’ll settle down with for the rest of my life, working for money until the day I die. If that’s what growing up means, then the Peter Pan in me is as rambunctious as ever.
I haven’t gotten it figured out yet. Maybe nobody ever has, but I do know that there is so much more to life than the “job” my parents and society want me to have. Some people have families and obligations to live up to which stress more emphasis on obtaining a steady income. I totally understand that. And sure- I’m an only child and you can call me spoiled too. But what good is being an only child if you don’t take advantage of it? What good is being an only child if you aren’t in a relationship and have as many obligations in life?
With less ties than others, i’m given the opportunity to set aside time to discover myself with a trip like this. Whatever happens out there, I will never regret this trip. For how will I know limits from lies if I never try?
