A passion can be anything to anyone, what drives you and what gives you motivation. Passions are found in the most diverse ways, and now it’s time for me to tell you about mine, travelling.
It started as long back as I can remember, or to be honest I can not remember it at all since I was around 4-6 months old at that time, not yet reached memory retention. It was one long journey, to be honest, all the way from South America to Norway in Scandinavia. Two travel-loving parents slowly gave me a love for travel in such a way that nothing else could compare to my enjoyment of travelling. We went on journeys many times per year and kept doing so throughout the entirety of my childhood. At some point, I got so used to travelling that going to the airport became just as normal to me as taking the bus.
That love never stopped, it remained within me, I am not sure if I was born a traveller, but I sure was made into one due to all of this. Travelling is something I need just as much as air these days, I notice that whenever I have been stuck for too long, then I need a breath of fresh air. Going somewhere is the breath I need to continue, luckily now these days I also have a job that helps me continue with my true passion. Whatever I do, or wherever I go does not matter that much, the adventure is made as I go.
So far I have been to quite a lot of places, but there are still a lot of places to see and to learn more about. In those ways, I am not a good traveller, since I rarely take the time to research the places I go. Usually, when I arrive at a new place, I just go for a walk around the area and spot things that I want to see, and from there the way usually leads to the next path, and I follow. It has worked out fine so far, a little bit of luck along the way has been a great help as well.
However, lately, I have become stuck in visiting just one place, and that is Italia. I guess Italia itself has become a passion for me, but come on, they have great food, great sights, great people and a beautiful language. I do not know for how long this will be, but so far the rest of the year is planned with Italian trips, and I also plan to do the same next year. Who knows when I will set my eyes on another destination again, I guess it does not matter much, passions can change just as much as we change.
The most important things about our passions are that we feel good while we do them, and that they keep giving us that feeling. So if those feelings ever dwindle, then do not be alarmed, it just means that you have changed a bit yourself. Change is always something to be welcomed, it is all part of our story. It would be a bummer to re-read the same chapter for the whole book, no matter how nice it was.
So, where will you go next time?
