The Adventure of Travelling
After a very relaxed week off in the south of spain I am now back at work in a rather wet and misrable wales. Being confined to the indoors, at least for the moment has given us some time to put together some idea’s for what we plan to do when we travel around the world.
I am not really sure where I am with my travel plans at the moment, I feel I am at a stage where I am not able to put anything together, like a lost boy in a supermarket trying to find mum. There are some places, a few that stick out. I know I want to go to them, I always have. They are some of my reasons for wanting to travel but on the whole the more i delve into the spacifics of my journey the more and more lost I become. How do you plan a route if you dont know whats there? Where do you plan to go if you dont know your destination, you start with yor destination, dont you. What if your route is your destination?
Planning V’s Adventure
By nature I am not a very organised person, planning is not a strong point. It is something which i have to work hard at, somthing I have got better at but am by no means efficient. I like to do minimul planning, I understand that there is a certain amount of planning we have to do for a trip around the world but can you do to much? Does it spoil the adventure?
Is planning my trip the begining of my adventure. Is planning my Journey an adventure, it certainly feels like it. There are so many uknowns, so many questions. Every answer has a new question and every question has 2 answers. Is this the adventure? For me the adventure is begining, but has not yet begun.
The small things that make up the adventure
The real adventure for me will always be on the road, thats the adventure i really look forward to. The not knowing whats next, the little things. The who’s, the whys and hows. How do you get from Lima to Santiargo overland and not takeing a tour. Are their busses, will the busses be running. Will they break down? Can you get off? what happens if you get off? Does the buss normally pass through here? How do i get to the next town? I have no cash but i ahve to eat? Solving these problems finding the answers, thats the adventure.
The unknown guides my journey of adventure. . .
Maybe is should rename my catogory, maybe it whould be the things that excite me about travelling around the world. Is that the same as a reason? Are the things that excite me enough? Are they the only things that matter?
The though of so many unknowns, the thought of so many outcomes, the possibilities. The journey is an adventure, the adventure is the reason. Another reason I travel the world.
