I am a woman of 35 years old and I want to travel the world as if I had 25

in #travel7 years ago

It is simple to explain but some difficult to understand. We all have goals in life. And sometimes it seems that you have everything to get them, but it's not so in your reality. For different reasons (eg, fears, attachments, etc) that thing you want most are postponed, and are postponed and time passes, but the pending bill is still there.
I always wanted to travel and always postponed it. There were also many barriers to doing so. But in truth, they were fears disguised as impediments. Most of them were internal beliefs that manifested themselves in "obstacles" that distanced me from achieving this dream.

A few days ago, a contact wrote on Facebook something very wise and interesting about this. In short, the text reflected on how sometimes we fell in love with an illusion and did not concretize it for years for fear of knowing what will happen next.
It is as if we need to keep the desire prior to the realization to continue to feel the taste of what is to come. For what? To feel alive, maybe. It's a kind of addiction. Addiction to "what I want is to come", or something.

When I wanted to travel the most, I ended up getting a house of my own (yes, I know you'll be thinking "WTF"). But of course, the pending account continued, continued. And now I can not take it anymore.

I'm 35 years old, I look younger but I'm that old. While it is true that is no age for travel, I refuse to think of traveling as a "non-young" person. I mean, traveling being ¨older¨ would amount to leaving behind much of my expectations and goals.
I need to fulfill those experiences that have been missed for years, especially the discoveries that interest me most: to do Couchsurfing in different cities, to work in a hostel in exchange for a room, to have 3 or more volunteer experiences in Workaway or Woofing, to go to music festivals and drink beer in every corner of Europe, to visit monasteries and sacred places in Asia, to be a digital nomad immersed in a community of nomads, to make friends from all over the world, to fall in love & find my soul mate on the way and keep traveling together, etcetera.

I have decided to become true that "dream" as soon as possible, and that is one of the reasons why I am beginning to write here today.

I hope you understand and support me. THANK YOU so much for your time and attention.

I hope you will succeed in making your list. I started traveling at age 21 and I still continue today the same way as when I started, even though I'm approaching 40. Age does not matter, the barriers are in our head.

I think so! Thank you so much for your comment :)
