Welcome to my new project.
Tonight, holding a one-way ticket to Copenhagen, I will begin my adventure to Europe. I have never set foot on the continent before so it is going to be a whole new experience. Some parts of this "go with the flow" trip have already been planned out but the rest of the journey is like a blank book right now.
Although I have travelled alone before, this will be my first time backpacking, going on an unplanned trip, full of uncertainty. This space is going to be a journal and an outlet. There will be many feelings, experiences, pictures, people, places, knowledge, wisdom that I would want to record and share with others.
So what made me decide to quit my job and embark on an adventure? I have always been a believer of choice. But with the life events that have happened so far in my tenth year of adulthood, fate seemed to have suddenly played a huge role. And the more choices I make in life, the more it seems to be pushing me into a certain direction.
Some say I'm courageous, I say it is taking a leap of faith. "If not now, then when? If not me, then who?" I don't believe in bad choices, but I would hate myself if I never took the step forward, even if it is into the unknown. Whichever path I take, wherever the journey takes me, I know it is a step made into the right direction. There is a calling that needs to be answered.
As one of my dearest clients always say, "let's do it, if we never try we will never know." I am so grateful for all the people who have encouraged me to take this break and live life a little. I may be traveling solo, but I know I am not alone :) Please keep checking back, leave comments, give suggestions, share my page, whatever it is! Let's stay connected. I hope you will too discover valuable lessons in my adventures.
P.S. It's carpe diem, not YOLO
