Travelers are the best people

I know most people write about travelling and suggestions on how to pack your suitcase before summer comes because that's the time most people leave for vacation. But in my case, since this summer i decided to go camping some place close, i left the best for later. I've been always wanting to visit the United States, and especially New York, and since I live in the other side of the planet, it wasn't an attainable dream. But you know what? Nothing is impossible, if you really want it. So, I think that fall is the best season for travelling, It's the clothes, the air, the whole atmosphere has something that makes me wanna fly away this time of the year, and also to experience the Halloween fest for the first time in my life.
Airplane ticket, passport and visa papers are ready, so in two weeks i'll be having the time of my life in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, that offers a lot to see and a lot to do. I think that there is inside of every single one of us an adventure gene, something that makes us wanna travel and see the world and explores what this big round thing has to offer. It's a unique feeling of freedom that you get when the air of another country touches your face, and you take a deep breath to catch this foreign new smell.. That's the feeling i'm chasing.

But before you travel, you have to do the packing, which for me is one of my favorite things of the world: doing lists about what you want to take with you makes you feel organized and safe (I hope doing lists are considered generally a cute thing to do, and not just me being a total control freak!). So I have, of course, already started my lists: Things I will take with me (devided into large categories like clothes, face products, everyday essentials etc), things that I wanna buy in New York (there are many products, clothes and souvenirs i've been meaning to buy when I'd visit USA like halloween treats ;) ) and, lastly, places I wanna visit there (famous landmarks, museums, my favorite stores, bookcases and others).

I'll be writing more about my travelling and preparations soon. But the point of today's talk was to not be afraid to travel, not be afraid to take chances.. Dare and test your limits, because when you travel it's not only the place and the destination that matters, but it's that you will be a new person and you will see things differently when you come back. Going somewhere new is also changing the way you see your old place, your hometown. One advice and one of my favorite quotes ever is that "life begins at the end of your comfort zone" (N.D. Walsch). And "yolo" isn't just a teenage slang trend word, it's a way of life, because in the end, you do only live once my friend.
