Maybe looked at like I'm crazy, but what isn't these days.

I sometimes have this feeling that some people think that I'm somewhat crazy for wanting to do this. I'm not saying they think I'm nuts, but simply that it might seem like too much for some of them. I've met people who have traveled for six months, came back for a few then gone back for another six and so on. What's the difference really. I'll be leaving with some more cash but for a longer time, that's all. Some have told me that it's not enough money, I say well so be it. We'll just have to see where I can get with what I'll have. I will have no obligation to be gone for two years, this is what I wish for,
but if I can only go on for let's say 19-20 months instead of 24, will I be dissapointed. I don't think so, it will be the most amazing think I will have done in my life so far. If I have to work at some point to be able to go on, why not really?


I have been the kind of person who had to move from one point to another since I have been an adult. Moved from one town to another, moved to another province in Canada. Mostly because I have this need to move, to see new places and things. I've been steady for the last 5 years now and I've been hitching to do someting new for two and a half. It's just who I am, I've tried to fit in the usual life mold, but it's just not for me. I like my job and the people I work with, but I get bored and tired and depressed in moments.


It took me a long time to realize that these moments of depressed state always come when I've been staying in the same place for too long. What better then to realize myself and be happy for who I really am. I'm also guessing that it might also be seen has selfish to leave everything and everyone behind to live my dreams. But, is it really? For many people to have a family, a house and so much more and for others it is to have a good career, those are their dreams and I don't find it selfish of them to have done it. I've been looking for something for myself for so long and now I have found a way to do this, so why not.


I say go for it man and live those dreams, life is short enough to have regrets for not having done what will be a lifelong memory that will stay with me. I am going to go further in this way of thinking also. I will be thinking of many ways for me to keep on going if I can. Visit other continents and other places in the world. I will have to see how this first adventure goes and maybe I will get addicted to this way of life.


I was told by many travelers of the world that traveling is like having patado chips, you can't stop with just one. I do hope in a way that it is true, because there are many places and things I would love to see and do.
