I’ll be flying off on the 27th of July to begin my overland Trans-Siberian journey across China, Mongolia, Russia and a bonus ending in Helsinki, Finland.
This is going to be the most adventurous trip I’ve ever taken thus far by myself in foreign lands with foreign languages.
As usual, the parent at home has been questioning why I would want to risk going on such a “dangerous” trip.
I’m frankly quite worried about the trip myself as well and the uncertainties ahead but decided I have to do this to get out of my comfort zone.
Monetary compensations haven’t provided any significant amount of elation except to be thankful I’ll have a roof over my head and well fed tummy at the end of the day.
I’ve always been reading how people on their death beds regrets not having seen enough of the world.
So while I’m still physically fit and can afford it, I shall travel. Visit new places. Meet new people. And hopefully, come back recharged and with renewed purpose in life.
The hunt for another job can wait.
