My mind is literally wandering at the moment. There is so much left to organise before I embark on the biggest adventure of my life on Sunday! I didn’t think that the last weeks before my departure would be that stressful. I’ve felt as if I was running from one place to another… There were some visas that still needed to be sorted and then there were a lot of friends who I wanted to see one last time before my departure. I’ve enjoyed every bit of it, but it’s also been stressful. I still have the hardest part ahead of me: Saying goodbye to my boyfriend and my family. It will be anything but easy! Even though I am very excited for my 8-month trip, I know that I will miss them extremely much. They are the most important part of my life!
However, I know I have to fulfil and live my dream, for which I’ve worked for so long. The people who know me understand what this trip means to me. It’s the end of a very long battle I fought with myself and that I’m happy to finally call the past. I’m not leaving because I’m unhappy with my life. On the opposite, I am leaving because I’ve finally achieved what I’ve always pursued: Confidence, courage and joy! I’ve developed a positive mind, which I am sure will help me master difficult situations on the go! For those who are wondering, no, I’m not scared to travel alone. I have great respect of what lies ahead of me, but I’m not scared! I’m excited to explore new cultures and landscapes, see a myriad of colours and meet new people. I’m sure I won’t be alone for long!
5 more days to go! I know they will just fly by…
