I;d want to travel the world, but I think I'd want to do it with someone beside me. Either as a couple, of a group, small group maybe.
Both ways of travelling, either alone or with a partner, have their god and bad sides.
When you´re travelling alone, you may feel lonely at times... this reminds me when I was in paradise.. walking along deserted beaches, totally alone, for hours and hours. It was beautiful, but at the same time I would have liked to share this beauty with someone. However, you
may not meet that many persons and be that independent if you are travelling with soneone. Then, it will be more about the partner. When you are alone, you are so free, you can go wherever you want whenever you want. You can feel like the first man who came onto Planet Earth. You will surely meet many people, probably more than you would meet in compare to travelling with someone.
I am content I did my last trip on my own. There were difficult times, like getting ill at the end of the world, everyone speaks Spanish and you can´t speak Spanish well, and then get some antibiotics without description or doctor
I even met a good friend of mine in Costa Rica who happened to be there. We had planned to travel together for two weeks, but then it turned out all different. We just met for a cafe on the busy San Jose streets at the very end of her stay.. funny though. Wild and cool. Ok, and I met a lot of friends in Jamaica, so I was kinda protected and respected there. Surely, I wouldn´t know how to move in Kingston if it wasn´t for them.
But most of the trip I was on my own. And it was totally great.
Imagine being on the beach of this picture. Very few people, far off.. and at the same time you know you are so isolated.
No one to ask for your name.
No one to find you.
And the strong flood of the Pacific ocean pulling you out when you swim.
It changed my life and made me focus on important things. When you are there, all Europe, all work, all standards, all luxury, all comfort, all your worries, all your usual daytime life is sooooooo far away. Nothing can harm you.
This is what I call freedom.
