I'll come back if they'll have me

Australia-New Zealand-Fiji-South America
Well, an old dream comes true. I am now close to the 30, and it's time to
realise from what I talked my whole live. You have ever a reason that you
don't do it.
Illness and maybe to be lonely.
Yes, they support me. It was a long process. And they know, that
traveling is a part of my live. It's important for me. I had already
monthly trips to Thailand, India, USA, Mexico....
Just Enough
Sleeping back and some clothing staff, medicine, some books.
I don't know...it's not my first trip far away. But maybe I find out,
what I will do the rest of my life, after my dreamn and what is important
for me....
I am a male, but the feelings now I can describe with: pregnant (from high
to low).
Because this time is not enough, that you get the feeling for different
cultures and different people. Two weeks vacations are not enough, to
realice that we live as world-citizens, and that nationality is not so
important.
Everybody ask me five questions:
1) What will you do after the trip?
2) What is with your occupation?
4) You do it alone?
3) You have enough money for it?
4) What the opinion of your parents to this?
It's a part of my live, of my dreams and it's important to stop war and
fighting each other. If you ever have a friend in a foreign country, you
don't like to shoot him.
DO IT! It's easy, the most important thing is to make a decision....
