Escape around the world
In recent years we see people post many videos and photos made to make the most of social media. Of course we all want to maybe out of vanity or simply because we want to capture the best moments, get a good result. And in this race between notoriety and showing how beautiful and unique our travels are, we forget to always show the bad or difficult parts. We are also bombarded with videos where we see increasingly extreme things to such an extent that even normal, beautiful things seem trivial and boring (apart from cats, but that’s an anomaly). All this leads us to see all things with superficiality and detachment without being able to perceive the difficulty of what we see and for this reason to give it the right value.
But is everything really always beautiful? Is traveling the key to happiness or a way to escape from our lives?
There are literally thousands of videos online about travel and for any destination on the planet, even the most remote. Naturally, in almost all of them the motto is: “everything is still beautiful!”.
Before deciding whether to embark on this journey I often thought about what it really meant to me and since when it was in my thoughts. Eventually I came to the conclusion that this like other things are part of dreams and hopes I wanted for my life that have not yet come true. It’s normal in life to often have to compromise with our dreams or fears, the problem is when we give up too many of these dreams. Maybe it’s just little things but slowly we find ourselves in a stagnant situation in which we don’t have a precise direction and we are just waiting for the next vacation. In my case I was not following the right direction but the direction in which I had settled down. While being a programmer which is a deep passion of mine, I was no longer doing what I really wanted but what happened to me. Around the world is only a part and above all a tool in my personal project of upheaval in my life. I think everyone has their own path and battles for me I hope this trip is useful. For someone else it might be useful to go swimming or do whatever else, everyone has their own direction that they partially know and for which they will sometimes be forced to lose most of their security.
Leaving the majority of one’s securities represents a real leap in the dark.
When I leave and later I will surely understand better what it means to live without mine. In my journey up to now I have learned the importance of sharing life with others, not as happens now where we share everything but in reality we do not share anything. So for this trip I intend to share and tell my experiences in a way that is funny but also in a realistic way, also including possible and probable fears. Sharing one’s experiences and passions with those who love us is absolutely among the things that have the most value in life, for this reason I am creating this site to share my experiences with friends so that this journey becomes something to be experienced together even if from a distance. For those I don’t know I hope it will be inspirational and for those who can’t travel but would like to, it will be a comfort. I therefore invite everyone to write and comment on what I will publish to make this adventure not my adventure but our adventure.
I wish everyone to find their own life path but above all when you realize you have deviated, to have the strength to start over. In my case I’m currently working on it!
