people say that “The more you see the world the less exotic it becomes..” this is so damn true… however I say this not in a bad way, but in a way that this expands your thirst to travel more & more.. And also the more you travel & the more people you meet you suddenyl realise that the everyone is more less the same (Like they say in Thailand same same but different…) … the hunger to experience something new keeps expanding & it’s the experience & the random friends you make that makes traveling a complete thrill…………
I started traveling as a child when my father used to pack the whole family up in his old datsun Bluebird ( I think) & drive ….. these trips ignited my passion to see more but as soon as puberty hit travelling with my parents became a drag
but still for all i miss school holidays but I guess weekends make up for it now… & I’ve moved on from staying at posh hotels (which was the main point of my travels then) to what I do & who i meet .. the place & condition of the place is immaterial…
Cash plays a big role now as there’s so many places to see & so little money going around (It’s true us advertising people are not paid as well as the world thinks - atleast not in SL!!!) but hey we still manage to take a bus ride to know where with no idea how much we have in our wallets - These have been the best “Trips” ….
Time - Thank god I have an angel a boss who grants my leave
so I manage to tie up all my long weekends to make them week long vacations ha ha but hey the road less travelled is calling me… I just can’t get enough of this country it’s truly a “BIG TRIP!!!!” & i pitty those who travel to 5 star hotels & swim in a pool & eat off the buffet (This too used to have it’s perks but it just doesn’t cut it anymore)…
One curious thing i’ve noticed about myself after I started serial travelling every weekend is that - I’ve moved on from hanging out with the same bunch weekend after weekend… coffeee stop evenings have stopped & i’m so fucking glad :_) no offence to my friends who i LOVE!!! but travelling-has though me that friendship is not how long you spend with a person or a group it’s the experience you have together & the moments cause some friends I’ve made I doubt i’ll ever meet again but they will forever be known as my friends …
oops….. need to get back to work & earn some money for my next trip on independence week :-) … adios me amigos till we meet on the road again
