So that thing happen, maybe again and maybe in constant hope that you will finally arrive in Thailand. So long dreaming Thailand. Or Australia, even India. Anywhere more near. It’s obvious that some people cannot include faraway destinations in their plans but dream is a dream. Still not having enough money or readiness to come doesn’t mean that you have to give up off your wishes. The fact is that you can work on your plans and yourself. This includes also nearby destinations. Dreaming is sometimes the only thing we can do but the power of dream can be so strong that no one can be happier but you once realizing it. This is what you can do to save your hopes and be happier when travelling:
1. World is full of choices. Specially your country is worth exploring, it can be so different and fulfilling. The origins are the key to start exploring the other places. Even your own town. Forest. Seeing something very beautiful is possible in every corner. The tastes are different but the beauty lies in the shadow of every taste. You have to develop the sensation to discover the beauty. Beauty is not only in landscapes or historical monuments, it is in constant interaction with people, with the endeavour to please the others. To reward yourself with a view so enchanting and wordless, it is needed to do step by step to explore the space and history. Every tree has a meaning, every stone has a story to tell. Every photo has a music within itself. Beauty is a matter of choice, of attitude. You don’t have to see it in every corner, but to discover is just a few steps more than usual behaviour. Beauty is a way of life to improve yourself. Beauty you have to taste and see.
2. Not going somewhere of your choice can be a great motivation. Saving money can improve your practical skills, your desire to be yourself, to discover your needs. It is indeed better to question yourself as you will know what will you better like somewhere else. Saving money is something you don’t do without proper choice, it’s an effort to become better person. It’s a chain you use to put yourself on right places. Underlining the priorities asks the time but you just have to choose sometimes.
3. Life is about learning. It is unbelievable how much we don’t know even about our own town. The life that was once made the life that is today and it is about us to make the difference. It is not a shame to know much, as I thought once. Who knows when you will need that knowledge? To be acquainted with places takes the possibility to discover wonderful surprises. This surprises will make your life even more meaningful. Even if the language seems totally strange, you will absorb it in your own way. Following the internet travel pages, you will learn about them even more then from a book. It’s a real life that matters.
4. Travelling is all about meeting people. Different people, different smiles, different habitudes, all construct one single moment. One in which you developed yourself and take out to the world. People change our lives and they do it invisibly or deeply, like a wind. Why do we remember some place? Because of someone living there. The best way to know a place is from experience. People do have it in abundance. It is just about recognizing your interests and going to the alike places.
5. One of the effects of not achieving the proper destination is discovering peace. Because it will take you to the roots of your wishes. Your travelling experience may be very beautiful and may be a total disaster. But nothing is disaster in the end, experience is the main path. Happiness is something to be followed, not the opposite. If you feel more comfortable letting the agencies to organize your excursions rather than being overwhelmed with adventure, than do it like this. The old adverb says- About tastes, it should not be discussed. Peace means to enjoy with all your lungs. Let your senses be interwined to the feeling of unity. In this case you will start to recognize what travelling can offer to you.
6. Being grateful is magnificent feeling, one of the most powerful that overwhelms you when coming to a new place. There are no words that can explain the feeling of being greatful. It is a special unity of appreciation of all what you have, of all that is given to you. And even more, of the whole world. Understanding the other culture or their poverty is a special form of understanding. It even includes the answer why we don’t like the place of your living, of your birth. As you always wanted to live somewhere else. Being grateful makes you see what you have and what are your needs. Your needs can be quite neglecting comparing what you have. When you’re alone in the world, your needs become less and less. Being grateful is a priceless feeling, something that makes you satisfied with being where you are. The endeavour to be curious to the surroundings comes from being grateful.
7. To appreciate every part of the world is deeply connected with gratefulness. Though gratefulness is more orientated to the inner world, appreciation considers the outer world much more. Appreciation comes into close contact with knowing how much different we are. What seems unusal to me may not be unusal at some other part of the world. Even the coldness at faraway Scandinavia may teach us how they are much more happier, how they make outdoor activities the essence of education and everyday life. The things that you don’t like can become significant, can become the source of inspiration. Because they connect us and give a value to the rest of the civilisation.
8. So I always wanted to know how it looks like to pick up the olives. As well the other mediterranean cultures. When you taste real olives, they are so different than the commercial one. So much taste there is in the domestic olives. When I was at the seaside in autumn, I found planika. Such a tasty fruit that in the continental part is not appearing anywhere. Same is with the differences between the countries, the continents. Special feelings at the top of some mountain bring us the wish of repetition. It’s advisable to feel like that also at home, no matter that visual correspondance doesn’t appear. Finding connections between different parts of the world makes us understand the country we live in, the climate, the roads. Makes us more content, surely if we want to. But the fact is we are more content.
9. The dream is a dream. Forgetting about it doesn’t make it less present. Dream envolves moment by moment, having something to yearn for in the silence. The „must see“ destinations are somewhere there in the heart, just waiting to reach the surface. The perfect opportunity is just a moment in time, yet once visited destination makes your desire to come more even eager. You have to welcome your desire, make a place for it and its hidden elements. To prepare a field, grow your desire. It lives by itself but some things happen because they’ve been yearned for. That’s the main reason. Your desire is the ultimate key.
10. Opening your eyes to the place you want to visit makes you the road yourself. Living like a local will give you the treasury of being on your destination. Just explore and be conscious of the things that give a meaning. Your hobbies, food, music. You will become more creative or more simple. After returning from Prague I was fascinated with the architecture. I heard the architecture in Barcelona is amazing, but it is Prague that delighted me. It makes me noticing more often architecture in my own town or nearby places.
