"If traveling was free, you would never see me again..."
At first I was like "DUHH same here!". But then again,,
Why is that second part of the sentence you'd never see me again? Why not travel together, who doesn't like to travel?? I think it's because most people don't travel to just see the world. Traveljunkies(that's what I call them for now) aren't just traveling to explore the world. What they like to do, is to run away from their home crowed... I think exploring yourself is somehow an urge for a lot of people, and it's best to do it alone.
Few weeks ago I read that every great story always exists out of 3 parts:
Few weeks ago I read that every great story always exists out of 3 parts:
1st The call, the call to adventure.
2nd The battle, the conflict in life, with a rebirth as a reward.
3rd The elixer, sharing your insights, experiences and happiness to take on in your normal life.
Every story begins with a wakeup call. A major issue in life that calls for a change. (the call)
With the intention to search for the meaning of life and exploring yourself, therefore you must face your fears. (the battle)
When you return home, you'll be able to help others. For example by sharing your story. (the elixer)
The second part, the battle, is moment when people start traveling. Maybe this "magic" story formula the reflection of a human life cycle. That's why those stories are so likeable, it is equal to our feelings. It is the perception of what we want in our life.
What would my life look like if traveling was free?
I'd probably be in an other country at least every other weekend. But most people that I know also love traveling so I wouldn't be alone. And to be honest, yes, if traveling was free I would also travel by myself. If it wasn't clear yet, I too am in this battle fase at least the beginning of this fase. I would consider myself as a beginning traveljunkie, love to explore but not yet addicted (enough).
