“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”
— Anita Desai
How do you travel? Is it an escape? Or is it a necessity that allows you to come back to your true self?
The true aim of the travel is to make a break: before… and after. Because you never come back the same. Even a small escape in the company of your happy companion is already the first step to no return. And the longer is your trip - the deeper influence it has on you. Even if you don’t realize it - you are not the same any more.
But the most beneficial trip is when you are travelling alone! It may be scary, it may seem boring, it demands all your attention but your inner growth is exponential.
I travel all the time: with my family, with my kids, on business but the best trip - is on my own.
If you never traveled alone - give yourself such an opportunity. And once you taste how powerful it is, you’ll never forget this feeling and will do it again and again and again.
Small tip: going alone to the nearest city for a day trip - is also a small travel on your own. Starting from that point: try to add more kilometers and days to your escapes. Until you feel that real boundaries exist only in our heads.
Remember: further you go - deeper you connect to yourself.
