4 months ago

It was 4 months ago I was hours away from a life changing event leaving my job to travel the world. It feels like a lifetime ago but then again what doesn’t feel like a lifetime ago? Sometimes I ask myself what I have done. I was looking through my pictures and am trying to reflect on the things I have seen, places I have been and everything in between. Not everyone gets an opportunity to leave their life behind to travel the world. So far I have swam with sharks and rays, taken Spanish classes, experienced a different culture, gone to festivals, had powder filled days on the mountains, talked for endless hours with complete strangers, made so many new friends, visited Central America, Montana, drove across Canada, visited family I haven’t seen in years, I have seen New York, and San Francisco, I have met musicians, experienced a volcano explosion, been close to a tornado, enjoyed the wonderful flavourful coffee in Guatemala, and their fried chicken the orange fanta, eaten amazing fish dinners, had fruit so fresh it was like eating a piece of heaven, had guacamole so moist and tasty that it was like butter melting in your mouth, had seafood in San Francisco, ridden on roads in the back of trucks hanging on for dear life, heard children singing, painted with my nephew, had cheesecake in New York, had bowls of soup so big you can dive into them, slept on the most comfortable beds, I have had friends show me their cities, I have been on a racetrack, seen a dolphin jumping in the water, I have gone to hidden bars, made friends from Italy, Japan, Guatemala, Amsterdam, London, the US, spent lazy days in hammocks, been offered jobs, left at a moment’s notice, on 3 separate occasions in Sydney I have had experiences that I could have never planned the more I write the more things come to my mind that I have done. Suddenly looking at this list I realize I have done so much in the past 4 months but my journey has hardly begun
