Solo Travel
Just a short blog post from me today as I am aware I haven’t posted for a while. And I am currently with my amazing Topdeck family on a ferry on our way to the South Island of New Zealand. You got it. After my amazing two weeks in Australia I am now in New Zealand.
When I first got here, I landed in Auckland, and was staying with some of my parents friends who they met when they were my age, in Young Farmers. At this point I was starting to get nervous about going on my Topdeck tour. I couldn’t think of anything worse than spending 19 days with a load of strangers. I feel awful saying that now of course. But I am not the kind of person who goes out of my comfort zone. I don’t do, going with the wind, I don’t do no routine. But that is exactly what I’m doing now. I am doing adventurous things, I am mixing with new people, and most of all that is a change for me, I am not being a judgemental bitch. When people say ‘travelling makes you, travelling moulds who you are’ I’m like oh shut the hell up that’s a load of twaddle. But I am starting to see where they are coming from. Don’t get me wrong, I am being me. I’m not being a fake version of myself, but I have changed. I’ve changed my look on life and other people. I’ve let my hair down and realised I don’t need a fixed routine to have a happy and successful life. I don’t need a man in my life. All I need is my wonderful friends and family to get me through.
So, there we have it. This is what the whole solo travelling has done to me. It’s given me a hell of a lot of time to reflect on myself and think about who I am. I am yet to find what I want to do with my life career wise, but I know that, in time that will come. So stay tuned for that finding!
So all I’m going to say here is; don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. Don't be afraid to travel on your own because it is okay. Yes you can have times where you feel lonely and miss home, but the rest of the time you have a blast and all your worries and troubles drift away. Stay true to yourself, never change who YOU are, but change your outlook on life and you may be surprised.
