Traveling isn’t just about going places. It’s about the quality of the experience, exploring another place and becoming part of it. Some time ago I realised that one authentic experience during a trip is worth a thousand times more than 10 tourist stops. When I go somewhere I explore places, culture, meet people, try local food calmly and experience authentic stories far away from the numerous touristic attractions. Instead of seeing and doing as much as possible, I’d rather take time to connect and become part of the daily local life and integrate my own everyday life in it. It’s what I do when I get to the place that makes the difference. Everyone can do their little bit of good wherever they are while experiencing a new place. You can give something back, share your skills and knowledge, learn to what local people can teach you, explore this wonderful world in a meaningful way.
Traveling is about being in constant awe of life on Earth.
Seeing things with new eyes.
Looking at a map and being able to remember how I was transformed by the places I have been to, the people I have met and the things I have seen. This, I think, is what is at heart of adventure and that is exactly why I plan on making my life one.
