Familiar with a scene where you see pictures of delightful places and then suddenly you dose off wandering or say imagining as if you're in that pic? And then suddenly you're boxed by Reality and boom! on the left side is your if and then on the right side is your but and the dreams were transformed into stars hovering your head. Hehe.
So I came up with a list of buts and ifs and categorized them into these:
- Time : I'm sort of juggling motherhood, studies, career and all other extra curricular activities and then this? My solution? Of course I can't just dizz away guiltily carrying all these woes, so I plan all my travels way far in advance. Leaving me enough options for conflicts and stuff. So if you have none, go make one!
- Money : I'm not a posh traveler, that I have to say. The idea is for me to get the gist out of this places and people and the not vice versa hence the backpacking. Oh it also pays to be a fan of this and that. Travel tours, low cost airlines, hotel booking site and etc. for you've got to be the first to know should there be a promo. And of course, book ahead to save as almost in anything, it comes cheaper when booked in advance. Little by little, imaginary build on how to live like a local. Read blogs and most importantly, save.
- Emo Baggage : Hehe. Sad but true. No one is born brave enough to face the world. It takes time and mastery and a whole lots of guts. In short, experience. So what are you waiting for? Pack and go!
Choosing between those pullings and pushings is not an option. There is no contest at all, as they come like a tick with a tock. Hand in hand, summing up life well lived. :)
Carpe diem~
