But something happened when I got out into the world, something that changed me. It was the reconnection of being at one with yourself and with this world.

Understand one thing very clearly. Because all this: your time, this world, your life in it and all of those opportunities, they have a deadline.

Traveling taught me where real happiness can be found. And it isn’t in possessions. These are things separate, distant from us, and they can never lead to a true feeling of happiness. What does lead to real happiness is something you can absorb within you. Something that becomes part of you that makes you a better, more complete person.Experiences and memories.

There is a whole world out there, waiting for you. A world filled with opportunities wherever and whenever you want to grasp them. And whether you do or you don’t…. well that is totally up to you.

The world is alive, and just as we humans draw energy from connection with other human beings, so we do too from this world.

Traveling solo is an incredible – life changing – journey, which I can recommend anyone to undertake. It’s the fear of being alone that prevents many people from daring to take the step to go on that journey. But as with many things, within that fear you’ll discover the greatest triumphs.
