check out this quote i kept on my computer for a long time. i don’t remember how i got it, but i remember understanding it.
HARDCORE TRAVEL IS A SACRIFICE. YOU TRADE FRIENDS, FAMILY, RELATIONSHIPS, CAREER, STABILITY, AND NORMALCY FOR STRANGERS, STORIES, ADVENTURES, AND EXPERIENCE. IT’S AN EDUCATION. TRAVEL TEACHES YOU ABOUT LIFE, THE WORLD, AND, MOST OF ALL, YOURSELF…….
after reading it over and over, i realized how traveling changed my life. yes it’s a huge sacrifice i made, but in the end, i wouldn’t be the person i am today without it. i learned how to survive, i learned how to appreciate the littlest things, i learned how to adapt, i learned different cultures, i learned about the world, and most of all, i really did learn a lot about myself. if you think i’m an asshole now, you should have seen me before. haha. it was a very humbling to travel this beautiful world we live in. i absolutely have no regrets!
