But, why should it be any different when one is stationary? For those that aren't traveling, it can be easy to forget the beauty, the 'oohs' and 'aahs', while the adventurous soul takes a little hiatus.
Therefore, I challenge you today to wipe your slate clean. Forget that it's the same old cubicle you are going to each and every weekday. Forget that you're taking the same old route to work - - fighting traffic to get there on time.
No one ever said you can't pretend it's an adventure, right? Take a different route to work. Say hello to some new faces. Get excited about the fact that you're alive. And that you're breathing, fully capable of making new friends, trying new foods on your lunch break, and finding something to laugh about.
Don't ever forget it's up to you to have an adventure, anytime - - anywhere. Don't be a tourist. Be a traveler in your everyday life!
Its a challenge worth accepting. You definitely do have a glow around you when you're on the road and people do feed off that. I know that Sydney being as international as it is does take away the novelty value I had whilst abroad.
ReplyDeleteIts about getting out there though, building that momentum until it becomes infectious. I'd love to recapture that, its there to be found.
I think after being stationary anywhere in the world - - it's natural to forget the novelty value that's easy to acquire while traveling. You're so right, that momentum is there, and is still very much present but up to you to tap into it. :)
DeleteI accept the accept the challenge!

I'm so glad you do! :)
DeleteGreat post! Whenever we travel, I avoid the tourist traps and gravitate to where the locals are. It's the only way to really "feel" a place!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I do the same thing..even when I am feeling shy, I tell myself to make the most out of it and get social with the local culture. :)
