Many have been asking me why sudden urged to travel the world. Well, yeah they are right, I can travel when I graduated college. But why not do things now when I have lots of free time and not only 10 days of allowable leave when I start working. Life is shorter than what you think. And this is the reason why I want to travel.
I have been labeling years since I got back from my short study in South Korea. With now a better me fresh from South Korea, I am now more open to face challenges and to really find my true self. With all those people that I have met and challenges I have been through alone in a foreign land, it has taught me to a lot of things and not settle for less.
2011 has been a friendly year for me. Fresh from South Korea where every night is party, I live almost the same lifestyle as my Korean friends. I study, I drink, and I party. My life revolved just on those three things. I spent most of my time outside with my best friends and meeting new friends. I have met a lot of people whom now I don’t even talked with. I spent the year as if I am really enjoying my last teen years.
With all the time and efforts I have given to others, 2012 has been a transforming year for me. I contained myself inside a box and enjoying things on my own. This year I learn to love myself and learn more about me. I started working out, and gave up my other vices. I give out things and forget people which I think would not help me. The year has been a selfish year for me. I think being on my 20’s has been a transition of my childish/ lively lifestyle to an adult one. They said that you need to be selfish when you reach your 20’s.

Enough with my selfish year, 2013 has been a family year for me. On 2013 alone, I have spent dinner or lunch out together with my family more than all my teenage life years combined. Here, I have realized that my parents and I are not getting any younger, life is short and I should spend it wisely. This year has been a challenging year for my family, but we all have been through it together. We have regained back our closeness and openness which I think we have not experience for more than a decade.
With all my experiments and realization in life for the past years, I think its time for me to introduce myself to the world. Since 2011 has been friend year, 2012 as my selfish year, 2013 as my family year, and now it’s my travel year. It is time for me to learn, and to experience new things. Its also time for me to go out of my comfort zone and do things differently. It is me now ready to face and to explore the world.
Well, I hope to see you in the road!
