Take Me There

If travelling was free, you'd never see me again. That's for sure.
The idea of travelling the world and seeing countries like I have never seen before makes growing up a lot less crap than it is now. Knowing that there are cultures out there that I wish to see is one of the reasons I push on.
As of 2016, I have been lucky enough to travel to and see 13 countries out of the total of 195 countries (not including the two I frequent between). I have barely even touched one quarter of the countries there are in the world. Is it possible to hit every single country there is in the world? I think so.
To me, the idea of never really settling for a long amount of time is somewhat really exciting. Yes, one would argue and say that the absence of solid roots can be dangerous - but it's the spontaneity of travelling from place to place that makes it all the more worth it.
No obligations, no one to answer to, freedom to do whatever you want when you want. Who wouldn't want it? You get to see parts of the world that no one usually sees. Even better? Travel with someone who is as equally as spontaneous as you. You never know where you're going next and that is an excitement in itself.
Three countries I want really to see? The United States of America, Tibet and India. Tibet and India for the sole reason to experience and see the culture for myself. Rich in history and just beautiful in themselves. As for the States? A girl has to see what The Land of the Free has to offer, right?
Some people are lucky enough to travel the world for their work, some are lucky to be at a point where they are financially stable enough to make trips across the world as and when they like. This girl can dream, but she's making it a point to make that dream a reality.
It's always been a dream of mine to travel. Waking up in a completely different country every day with an equally as spontaneous partner is one other thing that keeps me from pulling the plug. Having a life to call my own, no need to answer to anyone, no obligations to anyone but myself.
The very thought of not having permanent roots doesn't scare me. I know that one day, I will settle down in a place that fits me most. Until then, I will be wanderlust-ing from place to place, country to country. (Did I just verb a noun? Yes, yes I did).
