It is time! Hitting the road again with all the passion and excitement for traveling! I have had two reactions from people who asked me "where are you going?" One reaction was "wow, enjoy, I envy you" and another reaction was "why?". The second reaction left me always speechless. I don’t know how to respond to this question any more! A big list of reasons, experiences, friends, life skills that i attribute to traveling! Me and everybody else who hit the road once on their own. With time passing, I realize how essential is traveling as a quality in any person I bond with. Every traveler has a unique experience, however, the personal development is similar on many aspects.<\/p>\n

I write these words in the bus, on my way from T\u00fcbingen to Stuttgart airport. The bus driver waved at me in a very non-German way indicating that I don’t have to pay the fare. Was he too lazy to process? He has just done this now again with another traveler! Anyway, a beautiful way to start your travel. It is cloudy here, snowed a bit this morning. My backpack Is sitting in front of me. Not really my backpack, a good one that I borrowed from my dear friend Daniel! Let’s hope I can return it without damage \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

So this the first note. I will try to document my travel and experiences using short posts. I travel without a labtop, nor an iPad. I have only my iPhone in this trip. Trying to spend less time looking at screens and more time looking at what the universe has to physically offer me!<\/p>\n
