Have you ever felt the urge to leave everything behind, pack your bags and just go somewhere?
Been reading so much of "Eat, Pray, Love" lately that i guess the impulse to travel has just gotten stronger!
Truth is, we all have our ways of finding happiness in life.
It may be as simple as eating a slice of your favourite chocolate cake, getting yourself a tattoo or even
getting a one-way ticket to somewhere you've never been.
For my part, to travel is to take a journey into yourself.
The sense of getting lost in a stranger's place and finding yourself once again.
I find happiness in little beds and cramped bathrooms,
having limited internet connections and finding my way on a crumpled map,
drinking coffee in a hipster cafe
or even sharing conversations with a new friend on an overnight train.
That flexibility you will have while you're travelling without having to plan anything
is something we cannot achieve in our daily life routine.
The beauty you will find while exploring unfamiliar places and faces,
the random solitary moments you will discover,
and new perspectives of life you will realize from the endless adventures.
So, are you a wanderer? :)
You were given life,
it is your duty to find something beautiful within life,
no matter how slight
-Eat Pray Love
