However, as you already know, travelling makes me extremely contemplative. Something to do with the difficulties of being innately introverted, yet desiring connection and perhaps even intimacy. Travelling alone certainly has an air of independence and adventure, a divine flexibility and freedom, yet there are inevitably times when it is also lonely and secluded, a time when companionship is yearned for.

Travelling is one avenue that continues to present new ideas, thoughts, and perspectives, ever increasing my capacity for understanding my place in this big, beautiful world. So even in the challenging moments, I try to find the lesson, the take-away, the food for growth.
