Like I've stated here on the blog previous times before, I love to travel. Even if it's just a day's visit to another city or a bike ride to a hill I've never stepped my foot on before - traveling always gives me the good kind of chills.
I remember as a kid being so purely happy just to travel, I didn't really care about reaching the destination that much (although that's pretty fun too). I remember how the smell of a new country, all that freshness of everything being so new and still to be discovered... all that made me so happy I thought there couldn't be anything better, ever.
Yesterday as I was on a long bike ride, pedaling through the heat and honey-smelling fields, I realized that traveling really is a way of living and being. Cause in my opinion, traveling is not just the thing that you do when you fly somewhere or spend a week on a boat on the Caribbean - it's how you look at things, how you are with people and how you deal with everything, with life.
Cause let's face it, the biggest travel there is.... It's life! And I think like with any kind of traveling, the ability to keep both your eyes and heart open will get you to amazing places.
So, even if you are not heading anywhere far away in the near future, just think of your day as a little trip of its own - and see where it takes you...
