From the bottom of my heart: no.
First, because I get to meet people on the road, and secondly, because I’m insanely busy that I even often forget to…eat.
Yes. Do not forget that what you see daily is a photo, stories, a short video or 200 words to summarize a day or a week of the expedition. However, 99.9% of the expedition happen in ‘backstage’.
I do not have a travel partner and, honestly, I do not plan to have one. 20 months with my own rhythm, my tailored-made routine, my way to embrace challenges, and this secret wish to keep disconnecting from standards and norms.
I might get closer to my 40s than my 20s, but I’m definitely getting closer to the life I’ve always been supposed to live, and whatever the effort, the energy, or compromises.
Many talk about that ‘one life live it’ but rarely about the ‘one life love it’.
This is not just beautiful words to go on a nice video with people smiling extreme and being moralizing.
This is real. This life is so precious.
I personally refuse to feel judged and stressed by social standards and fake trends. I feel young, I am young, and I’m less and less ready to build what they call a family, a career, or a Home.
My selfish wish: to look back at this adventure one day, and to think ‘hell yeah, I lived my life’, no matter if I was alone or not.
I became a aunt 5 days ago, and for the very first time in my life. Today, I want to try my best to show my sister’s baby boy how much our dreams are important, and how lucky he is to be born free, with a power to fight tirelessly, and to finally become the hero of his life.
PS: I can’t get bored running to take a photo of Rafiki and me once setting up the tripod and timer…
