Rosh Pina, Israel

It's my career
No
Dharamsall, India; Rajistan, India; Karala, India; and Ladakh, India. Next is Thailand, I have not mapped out where and when I want it to flow, then maybe Bali, Indonisia and maybe to New Zealand.
I dreamt about this trip in high school when I had to write a piece about what is the thing I like to do best and of couse it was travelling the world. I decided to make this trip alone in order to get to know myself better. I always travelled with another person and it is a different experience.
What influenced me was the knowledge that time is going by [I am 60], and if I won't do it now, I probably will never do it. I am in good shape physically and I want to live life to the fullest. What influenced me to go was my partner in life. She did it twice and she told me about the different exeperiences she had.
That I will be taken advantage of because I tend to trust people and also I am afraid that I will lose things.
Most do and some familly members think that I am not responsible enough.
Just Enough
A good back pack and sleeping bag, a good fleece jacket, cloth and souveneirs from Israel that I want to give as presents.
I believe that it will broaden my exeperience in life, enjoy and appreciate cultures that are different than mine. I want to study Buddhism and mostly I want to connect with earth and the people from all over the world.
Mystery that is going to unfold
Taking RTW trip can change a person. A person sees how the rest of the world lives and he can appreciate that "his bag" is not so difficult, especially when you see how other people live.
Also you can start understanding that the assets that you accumulated are not that important. As a matter of fact they can hinder you in the voyage of life.
Do not know.
Experience life to the utmost and live in the present.
"I believe that what I am saying is true for me at this stage in my life. A person have many stages in his life." – Gail Sheeny in her book
