about traveling and objects we are carrying around with us
I wrote this entry to my old blog a year ago. It was interesting to read it again.
By the traveling, I learned how to take less and less things with me to my journeys. In the first few times I always thought that these objects will make me feel homey when I am abroad, but it turned out that this is not the case. This things even make more difficult to adjust to a certain place. This discovery actually fundamentally changed my approach to life.
I started to appreciate small things more. To be happy when the sun comes out from the clouds just for a few minutes, when it was raining for weeks without stopping. To enjoy the taste of a sandwich given by a friend when I didn’t have money to eat for days. To just sit in the ferryboat looking at the seagulls as they are catching pieces of bread thrown by the tourists to the sea and not thinking about if I will have a new job tomorrow or not. To accidentally bump into another Hungarian in the middle of nowhere and to have a really deep conversation.
I moved back to Budapest exactly 30 days ago, but I still feel that I’m outsider in some ways, and I think this feeling will never go away. When somebody starts to travel as a lifestyle, things change. The person is not the same anymore. And it is O.K. like that!
I think this world needs wonderers, because these people can help others to teach them different approaches. Nowadays the people need to worry less about material things and need to reconfigure the values in life. That’s why so many of us take their backpacks and start a journey. We need answers. We need experience.
In this new age the problems cannot be solved with the old ways anymore.
So I’m happy that I’m part of this world-migration, and let’s see how it will work out.
