Not sure if it's the age, but as I grow older (wiser too perhaps), I'm increasingly fascinated by the thoughts of travelling.
In the past, I wasn't fond of travelling. My thought was, it's such a hassle, to pack up luggage, bags, the necessities, and to go somewhere unfamiliar for few days, then come back. I thought, what's the fun in that?
Now, I had a different point of view. Travelling to somewhere unfamiliar, provide us a chance to relieve from the modern lifestyle. The burden and pressure from career & family could be cast aside, and we can truly relax, reverting to the heart that can see and feel the world just the way it is.
We can see different people, different culture, with different lifestyles, norms & values. To appreciate the diversity in unity, that's what travelling can offer us. Meeting new people can be interesting and scaring at the same time, but when we meet them, we get to know a different part of the world. If the world is an endless encyclopedia, then what we can do, is to read page by page, at a pace that we can keep up.
And to travel far away, with those I cherish and love, is definitely a great experience and memory. To live in different regions, adapting to different culture, yet still living under the same sky, watching over by the same sun & moon, and creating beautiful journey under the beautiful starts, that's what I begin to cherish.
To leave my footprint and memory in different part of the world, that thought alone, already inspires me, and put a smile on my face.
