Travelling: A Love/Hate Relationship


Love
Having the ability to go wherever you want to go whenever you want to
The infinate possibilities of things you can experience
The diveristy in the people you meet
Meeting people for all over the globe who you get on with so well
Having all your worldly possessions in one rucksack
Swapping music with people along the way
Seeing the beauty of the world
Doing things you never expected you could do
Learning new things about yourself
Figuring out all the adults in your life were actually telling you the truth e.g. you never really get any older mentally just physically- you will always feel like a big kid even if you don't look like one

Hate
Not having my own wardobe
Not being able to buy everything I want to because I have no place to put it
Hostels missing the most basic things like bowls and graters
Always having to watch your bank balance and plan three steps ahead
Constantly having to eat pasta because you can't think of anything else to cook after not having to cook for yourself in so long!
Not being able to just call up friends and family when I want because of the time difference
Not having a bookshelf
Only having two pairs of footwear: vans and flip flops
Feeling further and further away from making any real decisions about the rest of your life
ALWAYS having to be considerate of others- sometimes it would nice to just worry about yourself!

New friendships, brilliant experiences and freedom win the arguement hands down, the rest I can put up with or will work out along the way :)
