I will be taking a trip through the Indo China region soon. It'll be the first time in my life that I have gone on a backpacking trip alone out of my country. Honestly, I am a little afraid because I will be in countries where few will speak a common language as I do. Also, I will be expecting times of incredible loneliness and in moment like these I fear that I will be doing something foolish. Yet thousands have taken the trip and came back unscathed so I am not that worried. Well it has been something that I have been thinking of for quite a while so I am excited about the trip as well.
This trip will be more of a trip to reflect spiritually and about life in general. The other day, I saw the movie 'Motorcycle Diaries'. It was a show about 2 friends who went on a trip around South America and in the process changed their perspective in life greatly. One of the characters, Ernesto Che Guevarra became a famous revolutionary who wanted to unite South America.
In a way I wish my trip would be so profound, not that I want to be a revolutionary or anything like that. I want to to take a trip to see if my perspective in life could change, if I can be inspired to take action or to somehow point me towards the direction of life. All throughout life, I have always been thinking or dreaming things but take little action towards fulfilling these ideas. I guess you can say I like to daydream. I'd like to be more of a doer than a thinker, someone who dreams in the day to turn their dreams into reality. Daydream or reality? Only time can tell.
