Since yesterday I receive many messages of this type: ‘don’t rush it’, ‘you should take it easy’, ‘there are many beautiful things to see in Europe’, ‘stay longer in Europe’, ‘you go way too fast’.
Ok. Fair enough.
But look, it’s my adventure, right?
Yes, Europe is beautiful, Europe has got so many wonders, Europe is unique. I completely agree on that, trust me. BUT Europe is NOT what I’m looking for, Europe is not where I’m seeking my truth.
Since I left Italy I felt totally aligned with my solo expedition. Once on the road again, I could feel how POWERFUL this adventure represents to me and how UNEXPLAINABLE it is.
Yes, it can be tiring constantly driving, setting up the camp (even in the cab!) and seeking new places to discover. But believe me, in my situation, it’s actually even more draining if I don’t get closer to the Middle East.
Why? Simply because the whole purpose of this expedition is AFRICA. Of course I need to enjoy the journey, I do, very much, but at my own pace. And I feel I need to get to Turkey asap. I don’t know why -a feeling maybe. I think this country as well as the ones of the Middle East will teach me things which match what I’m looking for with Africa.
In 2020, the Coco thing ruin so many things to all of us. And it literally tear me away from my place of freedom, from where -for the first time in my life!- I could be who I am, freely. And I DO NOT WANT this to happen again. I do not want to be stuck somewhere and not being able to touch the African continent. I’d never get over it.
So yes, I’ll take it easy when I FEEL it. I’m living this adventure for myself, to please me, to BE me. If I go fast in some countries, who cares? That’s the way it is.
Thank you for your understanding and forever support.
