“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese
I came across this quote surfing the internet. Since I have been travelling I have found all of these things to be so true. Strangers can become your best friends. Nothing is familiar to me; the culture is different, the food is different, the language is the same but there are some very distinct differences. I have learned to love these differences. The friends that I have made and the people that I have met are great people but none of them will ever be the same as my friends and family at home. My home on Lake Kashagawigamog will always be my home. I will always remain proud to be a Canadian. Travelling is what I love to do, I come across new experiences everyday and I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to travel. Everything that is new and different to me I adapt to and learn to love. I am a chameleon. Travelling is my everything!
I have to thank my Mom & Dad for taking me travelling from a very young age and opening my eyes up to what is really out there. Without them I wouldn't have found my love for travelling. I thank them so much for all of the travelling that I have been able to do.
