COUNTDOWN – 2-Days
I finally moved all my stuff into my parent’s garage. Hopefully, all my worldly possessions will stay safe there until I return. When? Not quite sure – I suppose when the funds run dry.
Tomorrow is my last day being employed. I will them put my career on hold for a bit. It’s nice not to be employed (not from cash flow perspective), but the fact that I don’t have to deal with anyone. I report to myself – how is that for a living! Now I understand why people want to own their company. Hopefully, after all this traveling that one magical idea will come to me. We all just need one!!!
Saturday, I was talking to my dearest Mother. She said I should only travel for two months. If I do, what’s the point? Two months is the new two weeks.
This past weekend, it finally hit me that I will be traveling extensively. It freaked me out a bit. It reminds me when I was about to embark on my first solo trip back in 2003. Being scared is a big part of not knowing what lies ahead. But the beauty of it is the ability to find the courage to still do it – I will never know if I stay scared.
The questions that hunts me are – can I actually do this? Is it safe to go to some of the places that I’m going? What am I going to do when I come back? – Yes, I’ve done it before (but not for this long); the world will never be 100% safe, but people still travel to these places; ask me when I come back!
I remember two years ago when the idea of traveling for a long period of time came about. I thought it was a calling of some sort. Now it’s actually going to happen. One of my favorite quote is from the book the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho “if you really want something, the whole world will conspire to help you.”
2-more days until I fly to Mexico City…..
