RE: 7 Reasons why a Long Distance Journey will Solve your Problems

in #motivation7 years ago

So true. I travelled for 18 months in the 1990s, and before I left home I used to wake up at 4am worrying about the types of toilets I might have to use and the type of bed I might have to sleep on. But after camping wild in the Iranian countryside and the toilet being behind a bush I felt I could do anything!
These days I do lots of small expeditions to local mountains, and much of what you say applies to those smaller trips too.

Sort:  

Totally agree.

Adventure doesn't have to be big. It's about doing something without knowing the outcome. It can be trying a new flavour of ice cream, taking a different route home, or taking a bus without knowing the destination.

And in regards to the Iranian toilet, Bill Bryson puts it best; You're not a real man (or woman) until you've taken a shit in the woods.

All the best!

Haha - so true!
