preparation
First an idea
A journey - when does it begin? Does it really only start when you have packed everything and practically step out of the front door ?
For me, the journey begins much earlier. It starts with ideas and dreams. And the dream of one day traveling to Chile already starts with a friendship: I must have been 11 or 12, we had Visit from Chile. 4 year old Camilla was a great playmate for me. I learned my first Spanish word from her, which I still remember to this day. "Caca de la vaca!" From then on I wanted to accept the invitation.
But when is the right time for a big trip?
Then when you feel it! Then, when your courage is big enough, the wanderlust is greater than anything that is holding you back.
Travel alone?
Alone. Am I really alone? I always wanted to travel. But never alone. Maybe it took the time to do that. But now I wouldn't want it any other way. Am I really alone? I hardly believe it. And how many people are alone and lonely even in Germany and "at home"? I think it was an excuse to myself for a long time that I hid behind. Nowadays there is always the opportunity to talk to loved ones. And since many dear people have already announced that they would like to visit me, I think I won't be alone very often.
From a to B
The question of how...
I want to take my time. Time to really get there, wherever I am. I want to experience the cultures, get to know people. Feel the vastness of our earth and see the landscapes change. I try to use the plane as little as possible. For our planet alone. I want to travel as sustainably as possible.
