Go for your dreams

We all dream of something. And the dreams are as different and numerous as there are people in this world. And I dream of discovering the world, expanding my horizons and continuing my education. Learning, growing, discovering new things. Yes, I decided some time ago to take the path of a traveler.
And at the moment I ask myself again and again, if that's what I really am. Am I a traveler? Traveling from place to place, always on the go, restlessly chasing the unknown and seeking adventure?
Or have my dreams changed?
I have been here on the west coast of Australia for almost half a year now. And I have decided to stay a little longer. Because I'm living a life here that I've dreamed of for a long time. And today I want to take you a little bit into it. Sometimes I can hardly believe it myself. But the doubt, whether it is really reality, goes also fast again. At the latest when I wake up from my dreams. Because every morning I open my eyes again and again and see the beautiful, exotic birds and my first glance wanders through the open window over palm leaves and eucalyptus branches, which gently blow in the wind. Large raindrops run along the leaves and the gentle drip immerses the morning in a magical morning mood. It does not take long and the first rainbow appears with the sun rays, which do not miss the opportunity and break through the cloud cover. I currently live in a small cottage not far from the beach. A little oasis, as I call it. Here is everything my heart desires: fruits, flowers and vegetables. Since it's not far from Fremantle, I can maintain my daily routine of a walk on the beach. Also, even though I have moved around a lot in the last few months, I have developed a routine, which I enjoy very much. I get the experience of pursuing a job that I enjoy and that allows me to incorporate my passion for nutrition, health and nature.
But how do we find such an environment? Where we feel comfortable and enjoy going to work? Where the heart sings and we learn and grow every day?
I have been making this experience again and again for years and am always happily surprised. And I am also often asked how I do it. For me there is a very clear answer to this: In the meantime I know where I want to go, how I want to live and feel and what I am striving for in my life.
So if I want to have the possibility to go to the beach every day, I won't get it if I live in the mountains in Switzerland, for example. Simply because there is no beach by the sea there. Or if I have a passion for agriculture, I will most likely not be able to live it out in a big city.
I would like to say that these dreams do not come true all by themselves. I have to be active and go for it. For example, if I want a blooming garden, I have to start sowing seeds and take care of the growing plants. I have to become active and take the first steps. Every journey begins with getting started.
And so on my travels I have found places that have that something I was looking for. Close to the water, where the winter is not too cold and I just feel a great joy when the parrots play high up in the palm trees.
At the beginning of my time here, I found a beautiful cafe with stunning food, lots of attention to detail in every little corner, and the beach not far away. And I came again. And stayed.
And so beautiful things have happened, I have met people who are very similar to me and we have similar views of life. How should people stay in these places who are not also similar to me?
For me, there is no reason to move on at the moment. And I know the moment will come when I will also leave this place again and I will become a traveler again.
Even if it doesn't make sense to others.
Sometimes things don't have to make sense - but happy!
