Traveling dream since forever
Who doesn’t love traveling? While it means different things for everyone, there’s always something special and unique about it for each person.
Traveling has been my dream since… forever 
. It’s my way of living, feeling alive.
. It’s my way of living, feeling alive.Even though I moved to another country in my early twenties and took little trips here and there, it never quite captured the essence of what traveling truly felt or meant for me.
The artificial holiday paradises full of luxury were never tempting. I wanted to experience real life, real people, and throw myself into the unknown with a backpack, following my own schedule and budget.
Duality of your dream
And so I did. The COVID-19 pandemic and the laptop lifestyle turned out to be a blessing for me and many others. When the opportunity showed up, I had to grab it.
As my friend said, everything before was preparing me for this moment. Despite dreaming about it for so long, the transition wasn’t easy.
Leaving the well-known for the unknown was a challenge, even though it was all I wanted. Isn’t it crazy? The polarity of our world is always at play—the law of disruption, destruction, and creation, even in our dreams. The universe has a way of reminding you who’s really in charge…
I remember the moment at the airport, feeling a mix of emotions—tears of joy for reaching my dream and sorrow for leaving the old behind.
Breaking the unknown
I knew nothing would be the same when I came back. It never is. Not because things change, but because I change. With each trip, I open myself to new knowledge, perspectives, and experiences. Every person I meet changes my life in some way, and I learn from everything and everyone simultaneously.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s about traveling at all or if it’s the variety of experiences that make us feel alive. Would we be able to experience this if we didn’t step out of our comfort zone? Isn’t that the point of traveling?
And yet, some old habits are hard to break.
I just smile right now because I’m in the beautiful city of Agra in India, writing to you from the “London Coffee Shop,” sipping my favorite iced black Americano and a freshly squeezed juice from their seasonal fruits.
Finding YOUR HOME
What’s my point?
Well, I don’t see the reason to separate West and East when all of this can blend smoothly, adding to our growth. It’s part of who we are.
The culture we experience, the countries we visit, and the people we meet all enrich our lives. The past opens new opportunities for the future. The West can’t exist without the East, and vice versa. There’s order in chaos, even in wild Delhi (trust me, it’s there ).
).Everything is here for a reason, and it’s our job to find that middle ground—the balance that’s right for each of us.
Have you found yours? If you feel like you are at a crossroads, let me give you advice that has always worked for me:
