I traveled to Europe for the first time in the first week of December 2019 and stayed for about ten days. The first week was dedicated to professional work as a media person for a youth leadership conference (which you can read right here). This is important for context, because I never would have had the opportunity to travel to Europe without my writing.

“I like mountains.” Only thing I said, when introducing myself in that mountaineering course. And now, 5 years later, 3:00 pm, here I am: in the middle of nowhere, nobody by my side, no one else knows where I am, absolutely wet on my feet, my hands are trembling; for I am stuck in this via ferrata, this narrow corridor, to the front a rock wall, on my back the vault. What on Earth was I thinking?

Whisps of thick fog curled around my boots as I approached the base of the hill. The early morning sun did little to help with the visibility around my current surroundings. Veritably, I was left with my own sense of orientation and the landmark erected above serving as my compass.

There is a spirit of curiosity and adventure that comes with the gift of travel. I say this with a heavy heart, with the empathy that some people were unable to travel, and even to this day are not able to fully appreciate the gift of travel for a myriad of reasons.

"From Bolton's old monastic tower The bells ring loud with gladsome power; The sun shines bright; the fields are gay With people in their best array Of stole and doublet, hood and scarf, Along the banks of crystal Wharf, And thus in joyous mood they hie To Bolton's mouldering Priory.”

Just because somebody says something confidently, it does not mean that they know what they are talking about. When it comes to my dad, I figured this out many, many years ago. And yet I didn’t question him when he assured me that Namibia was a very developed country with good roads, public transport, and lots of other tourists. I didn’t think to ask how he would know that, seeing as he had never been.

The Simple TravelPublished 13 days ago in WanderAloha from Kona
The time has finally come as I was about to land on Kona, the pilot saying " we are about to descend please fasten your seatbelts". This was it the moment I had been waiting for since last year when my cousin and I planned this trip. My stomach getting butterflies as if I was going to vomit, I was so anxious but so excited to finally land. To see my cousin who had flew in from Oregon, and my aunt who lives there. It was my first time ever being to Hawaii, and I could not wait to see the Island.

Christopher McCandless, a young man with a restless spirit and a deep yearning for adventure, set off on an odyssey into the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. His quest for a life of simplicity and self-reliance ended in tragedy, but his story, immortalized in Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild" and its film adaptation, continues to resonate deeply with those who dream of escaping the confines of modern society to seek a more authentic existence.
