An Ode to Travelers (Travel Inspiration)

Posted on by under Personal Life Reflections

Traveling introduces us to ourselves. As we discover more of our world, we discover more of who we are.

We visit places that leave us speechless, and then turn us into storytellers.

travel

We learn how other people live. There are so many ways to exist.

And we get to choose!

…but we only get one life.

travel

We push past limits. Break through boundaries. And live outside of our comfort zones.

travel

We meet people. Love people. Trust people.

Even when we don’t share a language…

It’s okay because we’ve learned how to trust ourselves. And our intuition.

travel

We make unforgettable memories, that become like secret treasures…shared only by those who were there.

travel

Our loved ones want to hear about our travels. They like our stories of adventure. So we do our best to tell them. But we can only share so much.

Because the truth is, the great things in life can’t be captured or described, only experienced.

And the best moments of all, no doubt the traveler’s favorite, are the ones that can’t even be understood…only appreciated.

Traveling Abroad Solo as a Female

Posted on by under Personal Life Reflections

I’m leaving soon for my first solo trip abroad. I’ve traveled abroad numerous times and traveled alone plenty, as well. But this will be my first time combining the two and I feel compelled to share some thoughts…

I love traveling alone because it teaches you to trust others, and more importantly, yourself and your intuition.

For me, doing it in a foreign country is exciting and just outside of my comfort zone. That’s how we grow and change. Not by doing outright risky things, but by knowing our limits and striving to stretch them, ever so gently.

Everyone has different boundaries, comfort zones, and accompanying beliefs. Here are mine (as they pertain to this trip):

I believe in living outside of your comfort zone.
I believe in the kindness of strangers.
I believe that experience is our greatest teacher.
I believe that when we act with boldness, mighty forces come to our aid.
And most of all, I believe in the God of angel’s armies (who has never once left my side:)

Don’t Be Afraid to Be Lost

Don’t be afraid to leave. To travel. To go out on your own, away from home, and out of your comfort zone. Only good things can come from this. At the very least, getting lost will help you find yourself.
