Feeding your wanderlust
Wanderlust is a strong desire to travel. But how do we know it? It simply strikes, out of nowhere. Yep, just like that. For some, it may happen on a school field trip, or it may happen while visiting the beach or mountain for the first time and falling in love with it immediately, or for others, much later in their lives, while following a banal routine every day. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize this feeling. Most of you might have experienced it at some point in your life. Such a beautiful and one-of-a-kind feeling.
Some people enjoy the uncertainty of life. They love traveling to a foreign land with a whole bunch of unknown possibilities laid before them. For a few, it could even be their lifestyle. Even though it doesn’t appeal to the masses, it’s not like they owe anything to anyone. So, as long as they are true and honest with themselves all is good!
Deep down many might want to be free and wander around the world. Remember all you have to do is take the first step. The rest of it just happens. Just like magic.
THE ADVERSE EFFECT OF PANDEMIC
No one expected it to happen. So, when it did, it hit hard. And for those with wanderlust genes, it was literally a nightmare. During the lockdown, being surrounded by four walls and having social media as the only entertainment made drive increase with each passing day. Even those who weren’t much interested in traveling felt a strong desire to travel thanks to those beautiful travel vlogs. There is no way to beat this stress. It is impossible to come up with alternatives too. Thus, the adverse effect of it made the wild spirits feel disoriented and sad.
Here is how our community people fed their wanderlust during the pandemic.
IS TRAVEL REALLY WORTH IT?
Definitely, a big, fat YES! Of course, unless you feel pressured to travel. Travel because you ‘want to’ not because you ‘have to’. For some, it’s a way of life. Not everyone is wanderlusted and it is not about good or bad. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions and choices in their lives. It’s just that some wild souls can’t be contained in a single place. But once you travel, the new experience, different people, and cultures you come across will for sure change your perspective of life. Who knows you may even rediscover yourselves. And this is definitely for the good.
Your heart will begin to beat to a different yet beautiful rhythm. (A little poetic touch 😉 )
These funny incidents that our tribe came across will make you pack your bags.
FINDING YOUR ZEST FOR LIFE
Maybe travel could be your thing. Give it a shot for it’s worth it. The world is big, and there are a lot more things waiting for you to explore and leave you breathless. There is this magic that happens – known as – serendipity. Getting to encounter all the crazy moments of good incidents and lucky chances in life, you will be humbled by your presence in the facet of humanity and align more with the flow of the universe.
Just a heads up if you plan to travel anytime soon.
Now that the world has returned new after the pandemic, go wild and crazy, travel your hearts out and let go of who you were and reemerge as a new you. Amidst all the bizarre adventures, maybe getting lost, is all about finding yourself in the process of finding new places.
So, have you missed traveling during the lockdown? Go ahead and discover the unknowns!
Happy trails, you wanderer!
Lets wander, and decorate our memories with wild love and epic adventures. Let’s soul talk with new people, collect stories, and memories that will keep us warm when we are old.
