A Journey

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."-Lao Tzu

I feel like the quote is a great one to share, because people are constantly commenting on my adventure abroad. The most common statements; I wish I could do what you are doing, you're so brave, how are you able to do this, I'm jealous/envious of you. My comments back are you don't just have to wish or live vicariously through me, you can do it too! You can do anything you put your mind to and accomplish anything you want. Everyone has a reason or excuse why they can't or didn't travel or do that thing they always wanted to do, however if you really want it, it's all about prioritizing the things that are important to you.

I think the quote is perfect, I didn't overnight leave the country for a year. I decided 2 years prior, and started saving and planning about a year and a half before I left. It started with a single step, deciding that I wanted to go. From there, I needed to start saving, obtain visa, buy necessary items for trip, book flight, etc., but that didn't happen all at once. I took it day by day, step by step.  For those of you that wish you could've, should've, would've.....stop procrastinating, and find a way to do those things you always wanted to do. For me, it was travel, and I'm far from done with my traveling, but it's one step at a time.

Bye for now <3
