Why Going Home Hat failure does not mean

Why Going Home Hat failure does not mean -

"You go home?" I asked, as we sat common room at the inn.

"Yes, I miss my friends and family. This long-term travel thing is just not for me. I have my journey cut short and will go in a few weeks to go home."

" Wow! "I replied. "Well, it's important to do what makes you happy. At least, travel you have learned something about what you do and do not like. This is a win."

And thus, we moved the conversation.

They, like many others I have met on the street, went back home, not in defeat, but the winner, in the knowledge they discovered the contents more about yourself.

When I started my travels, a million and one fears and worst-case scenarios went through my head. What if I can not do it? What if I find friends? What if I can not I find my way back so lost? What if I get sick? What if I run out of money?

What if, what if, what if!

Thanks to the many emails I get, I know, to go these thoughts to the minds of others.

Many of those "what if" people think of going on the road. We let our fear of failure so paralyzed that we forget that all these fears are not important, because no matter what happens, we can always come home.

It's OK to say: "You know what I miss my home, I miss my friends, I hate hostels, and it turns my idea of ​​traveling out includes a luxury resort on the next?. "

The important thing is that you try and you learned.

I would work for me had no idea travel Long-term. My original trip was only for a year, and I have decided, could come in at home three months.

But here I am, seven years later, still in love with travel. I never know if I do not ignore my fears and try.

We enter in may to fear the "what ifs", and the concern, and instead to stay safe at home. Or you can try out and the door head.

Who cares if you decide to cut your trip short cares? Who cares if you think "life is not for me?" They travel for themselves. They do this for you.

When I decided last year that after more than six years almost constantly to be in motion, it was time to settle roots somewhere and create a lot of people, mailed me, expressing sadness that I "abandoned "had to travel

But times -. and people - change. I had nothing to prove, by allowing them to travel farther when to put my desires elsewhere. Travel is a personal experience, and at the end of the day as you wish is the only thing that matters. I still believe that life on the road is amazing - but sometimes I want this path for a while off the head and front of my television sitting watching a movie

So if you was been thinking about traveling, but To care. You can not make a whole year around the world, or that you may not have the skills to travel, I say to you: Who cares? You can always go home if you want.

So what if you can not make it? What if others think? I say, it does not matter.

There is no error return home.

Travel teaches us about ourselves and makes us better people. not .. That long journey for you

And there is nothing wrong with the

[1945001-Thedecisiontocomehomesimplymeansyou'retravelinglearnedsomethingaboutyourselfyouwouldhaveotherwisenotknown] Take a chance.

Since the path will always be there, back, but the road could not forward.

So travel and learn something about yourself.

Even if what you learn you'd rather be at home.
