How does it feel to travel alone
It feels EXCITED because finally I am brave enough to book a ticket and go, alone
It feels ANXIOUS because I do not know what would happen during the trip
It feels STRONG because I do everything on my own to make it happen
It feels SO HAPPY because I can do something that I was so scared before
It feels STRANGE when there is no one around me speaking my mother language and I can use English everyday, yeah
It feels PRETTY COOL because people are always wow-ing seeing a small girl wondering in a big country, alone
It feels PEACEFUL because I have my own time without any distraction from messages or calls or emails or ….
It feels SERENE because I can now truly listen and follow my own feelings and voices, not anyone else
It feels FRESH because I am throwing myself in a complete different world, things normal in that place seems brand new for me
It feels EXOTIC because finally I can wear a natural sunscreen – Thanaka
It feels LONELY sometimes when I see couples traveling together
It feels TERRIFYING when I see a snake, from nowhere, crawling right in front of me
It feels LEFT – ABANDONED when I have a meeting with someone I know through internet and they cancel the last minute
It feels FEARFUL when I get lost with an out – of – battery phone in the middle of nowhere
It feels SURPRISED because there are so many good – strangers always willing to help me
It feels BLESSED because no matter what happened, I am safe and sound at the end
It feels AMAZING because I can meet so many interesting friends around the world in a way I could never do if I just stay at home or travel with a group of friends
It feels SUPER GREAT because I know, I know that there are a lot of girls also travelling solo, like me
It feels INSPIRED from stories I have heard on the way, from locals and from other fellow travelers
Finally, it feels SO PROUD because I MADE IT!
