It's my career
No
Start in Finland, travel Eastern Europe to Turkey, fly to Kenya,
Tanzania, then to India and Nepal, UAE, fly over to Singapore travel
South East Asia up to China.
I have been backpaking through Western Europe, now I want to experience
non-Western culture, and broaden my perspective on the world.
Safety. I am a blond girl from the US traveling alone.
Anyone that knows me, knows it is something I have to do.
Just Enough
As long as I have my passport, debit card, and my journal, I can deal.
I seem to be caught up a yuppy lifestyle at present, I am looking to
escape from that, and reprioritize.
A intense anticipation that keeps me awake at nights dreaming of the
experiences to come.
Traveling leads to insight, a change of perspective and a gain in empathy
that tourism could never compete against.
It is too expensive.
I am fascinated with this world, and would like to experience as much as
I can in the short time I am here.
Don't stress too much, you absolutely cannot plan for everything.
