Here's the great article on what is a Traveler. The article is really inspiring and makes you wanna try this life out. It describes some advantages and disadvantages of living a life as a traveler. But there're always buts.
I know I'm getting to personal, far from being objective, but I think it's ok to leave your things, friends, partners behind and just take a chance to go on a trip. It really can give you a lot of experience, what is the most important thing in life after all for me. And I understand that it only needs a strong desire to do it and then you can do it. But for me there's one thing I can't leave behind and that's my family. I know they need my support now. Of course they can live fine without me around, but I can't stand the thought of making these people's life harder (people, who put a lot of effort in bringing me up and supporting me). I wonder if there'll ever be a point in my life when the wish to leave everything and to go to some faraway place will eventually overpower my sence of responsobility (so to say).
I feel like being a traveler, I really can't stand the idea of staying constantly at one place, knowing that there's SOOO much to see and to experience around the world. And I'm quite sure I'll be perfectly fine living such a life not to say happy. But at the same time I have a fear, and that is being caught up with the routine, which later will never give me a chance to get out. I know it'll take only a couple of years to get stuck in it up to my ears and i'm really affraid of it. Besides I'm now just that common person with good education, good job, nice meetings with friends at a good cafe described in the article
Sometimes I wish I were alone or at least I could really leave everything behind.
I could not understand all what you meant in this sentence, but I could do several part of it.
ReplyDeleteRecently, when I have a plan to travel, it means a family trip. But, now, I have a plan to travel to Singapore alone this autumn. I am looking forward to having this trip very much.
oh, sorry for that, it was just a load of random thoughts. I'm really confused right now, 'cause it's the moment in my life when I can choose what road to take. And that's why the post is so messy.
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy for you to go on a trip to Singapore. You have a friend their, aren't you? I'll be waiting for a detailed report of the trip from you, as Singapore is also one of the places I really want to visit someday^^
thanks for leaving a comment, by the way^^
Yes, I have a friend in Singapore. He has been to Japan several times, and I met with him two times in Japan. He is a nice guy, I think.
ReplyDeleteI am going to post photos on my blog that I take in Singapore after I travel to the country.
