You might not have travelled beyond your hometown and this is your first time away from everything familiar; every sound you hear and everything you see carries a form of wonder to you.
Somethings are familiar to the eye and others are a surprise to behold; the excitement has to grow beyond what was expected so you savor every moment and take pictures for when you need to show the world what you never knew existed. With every trudge down new streets, gives you a sense of discovery and therein you learn something you didn’t know back home.

The need to climb every mountain arises when you see daunting shadows way up in the morning mist as you feel the dew slip off the grass. As the birds chirp with their rising song you know you want to jump into the unknown and explore what lies ahead of you in this new land.
Droplets of water leading to rivers and lakes make a trail long enough for you to follow and get lost in the goodness of nature. You are now enthralled in the unexpected.
The wonderful sense of freedom fills your heart with every passing day. You suddenly wonder why you never ever tried to do this before.
Travel to free your mind and relax your body.
