Some people may say we are going through a “quarter life” crisis – I tend to agree.
I woke up one day and realized that I wanted more. I wanted more from life and more from myself. I knew that I needed to do something and I needed to do it soon. I found that everyday I was feeling unfulfilled, I didn’t care as much about the shopping and the eating and the working…..my brain felt numb, I needed a challenge.
Travel had always been in the back of my mind but I had always been afraid. Afraid to leave it all behind. What I slowly started to realize was the “it all” was not “it” at all. Everything that I felt I had worked so hard for (job, education, material possessions) was beginning to define who I am – and I am not ok with that. I want experiences and friendships and laughter to define me. But most of all I couldn’t shake the feeling of utter claustrophobia at the thought of impending years, days, hours and minutes of continuing on this path.
I have always believed that life unfolds itself in front of you if you let it. And as luck would have it I met the man of my dreams, who also wants to travel and live a rich adventurous life.
I won’t speak for him and the reasons why he wants to go but we have decided to undertake this challenge together – and I have never been more excited in my entire life.
So I invite you to follow along with our travels, stay connected, learn a little about travel, and about us. Feel free to contribute in any way, we are always open to suggestions!!
