Having mixed bittersweet emotions as my trip
comes to an end.
While I'm happy to be back home with my family, a part of me is still there tranquilizing amidst the mountains and rivers.
It was my first. Before this, traveling was never a thought in my mind. Even if it did sometimes, the only picture I had was that of exotic foreign locations, shopping malls and hotels with pools and spas. Completely opposite from what I just experienced.
But I'm blessed to have two special people in my life who corrected my thoughts and taught me the real meaning of traveling; that it has got less to do with where I go and more to do with what I see, feel and experience. Teachings of traveling, and of valuable life lessons like learning to adapt outside my comfort zone, learning to make friendly connections with strangers without judging them, and so much more. And I'm glad that along the journey, I also met a few individuals who unknowingly inspired me to find satisfaction and happiness in whatever more or less we have been granted with in life.
I simply went for an escape from my hectic everyday life, but I came back with memories and lessons to last a lifetime.
It was my first but it surely isn't going to be my last. :)
