Day 27 - Globetrotters When asked about their most cherished dream, many people always reply that they want to travel the world, see different cultures, and have adventures. However, only a few accomplish this dream. Some would excuse themselves saying that life got in the way, either in the form of marriage, children, or a job and that because of that they had to put their dream aside. Others would blame their lack of money, and others would say that they don’t have the courage to chase their dream. Whatever the reason, in many cases the dream of traveling the world remains on the back burner for years until it is eventually forgotten. Nevertheless, there are other sorts of people, more of a dreamer than the rest. They, driven by their ambition to broaden their horizons, at some point in their lives, decide to make a change and start over. These cases are scarce, and because of that, they are also very inspiring for those who aspire to the same freedom. You can see them cycling around your city with their fully-equipped bikes, traveling in pairs but most probably on their own, or, in more extreme cases just wandering the world on foot. One of these cases is an Argentinian man in his 60s, who after grabbing a couple of items, set out to roam America by foot. He started in Patagonia and is actually on his way up to Alaska. What at the beginning was seen as madness ended up as a life lesson to all those who have followed his journey. An adventure that has been full of determination and also of the kindness from those who have helped this man along his way either with food, accommodation or with a simple ride. Another case I like is an Argentinian woman who began traveling when she was 22 and continued for the next ten years. During all that time she used to write a blog describing her experiences and thoughts. She would always emphasize how traveling had changed her as a person and would encourage other women to do the same; to leave their fears aside and travel on their own. Personally, traveling the world is not something that moves me, but what I do admire and what I would like to integrate into myself is the courage that these people have to go against the current and do whatever they want with their lives.
