Don’t be a tourist. Plan less. Go slowly. I traveled in the most inefficient way possible and it took me exactly where I wanted to go. — National Geographic’s Andrew Evans, on his 40 day, 40 bus journey from Washington D.C. to Antarctica.
Recently i stood in front of a broken mirror, staring at my self for few min. I asked my self "What do i want" and "What i'm afraid of". Deep down in my heart i've always wanted adventure. So i always told my self I'll work hard have enough money and pack my bag for adventure. In retrospect, it was the most BS thing i've ever told my self. I know i want it. But i told my self I'll travel all of India when i have lots of money. Now i'm swearing to myself i don't have to wait any more....
I've traveled in India before, mostly for work. Delhi, Mumbai, Banglore, Chennai... or other places for wedding like Agra, Nagpur, Vijaywada....
But now i want to travel with different intention.
Now I pledge to end the year twenty twelve by traveling and start the year twenty thirty by travelling This means I'll travel the last 15 days of December 2012 the the first 15 days of January 2013 I'll be on the road. The world that is worth experiencing is not in books or on TV or Google street view. Its with real human being. I want to get out and meet them.
Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be. ~Jose Ortega y Gasse
