Now, i have become the traveler!!!

A few years ago, traveling was something I would write in the hobbies section of my CV just for the sake of it. I liked it a bit, but it wasn’t really a hobby. My idea of traveling was booking one resort somewhere and just resting; it was more about taking a break than exploring new places. That changed in 2023 when I traveled to Europe with my brother. After a 24-hour flight with no sleep, I landed in Amsterdam, expecting to rest, but instead, we jumped straight into exploring the city. No breaks, nothing. On top of that, he showed me what real traveling looks like - navigating through every form of public transport. That week, I spent more time on buses and metros than ever before and walked 100,000 steps - I quite literally walked through Europe. I was exhausted, but it was the best experience of my life. I fell in love with the idea of “walking off a city.”

 

But beyond just exploring places, traveling has done something for me. There’s something about being in a new city, walking through unfamiliar streets, and experiencing life from a different perspective that makes me feel more connected to myself. During these journeys, I reflect in a different way, and every time I return, I feel calmer, more grateful, and more patient. It’s not just about the places - it’s about the experience, the movement, and the clarity it brings. It’s not an escape but a way to slow down, tune in, and rediscover myself.
