end of my Great Travel: little earlier than planned, some unexpected, but I am ready to return home ...
So my journey is over United. Wszesniej little bit than to assume the original plan for the travel and the most banal of all possible reason, but apparently it was supposed to be. Sure, can I come and spend the extra uprzec time, stress and money, in order to overcome these small and bureaucratic barriers in my trip, but I decided instead to go back two weeks before the civilized world. And this bureaucratic barrier, which is said to ... (Guess who?) Course :-) I had a visa already with them a few adventures ... When I got to the border between Botswana and Namibia you nice border guard officer told me that Poles need a visa to Namibia (which I knew), but I can not spend it at the border and I have to do at the embassy before leaving the house (which is not I knew, and in direct conflict with what the agency has repeatedly told me that organizing my trip and what I read on the internet before leaving.) Mr. unfortunately was adamant: no, I can not issue visas at the border, no, can not turn a blind eye and let me in without a visa, no, I will not even be a "special fee". I would have getting visas to come back to Botswana, or to go to Zambia, where is the nearest Embassy of Namibia. Reaching there, the local bus and get a visa would take me a few days. Back odnalezenie local transport and friends, with whom he traveled the next few days. And they have for these few days will no longer leave the law to go into Namibia and South Africa. Not worth it ... So I decided that venturing out to Namibia to another time (I'm still there with plans wyskakiwania plane!), And now two weeks before I come back to civilization, Dutch and Rodzinki Jurek. Hot showers! Want to bubble up to the ceiling! Clean clothes! Soft bed instead of a tent with a hundred small ants (I could not get rid of them in Botswana !)...
Uncertainty and how to deal with it in life
still something in me can not believe that the United journey is over. Dreamed about it for several years, I planned a few months. It seems to me sometimes that it was only yesterday when I finally plucked up the courage and asked my dear employer of 10 mieszeczny holiday. And now you come back home ???!!! Cramps baked ... Again - exactly as I expected - fell in love with Africa and left it there the next piece of yourself. I love this continent - the colors of the sky at sunset, the sounds of the bush at sunrise and at night (sometimes a little scary when you are in his tent, and right next to the howling hyena snarls, and from a pond near hippo roars.) I love the members of African tribes, completely away from civilization (sometimes need a few days, in order for them to arrive buszy) and completely independent from the rest of the world, miejacych no clue (and thus also not worrying in) about our petty modern Western issues and concerns .. .
Now I'm excited and fascinated by what will bring my life to the near future. So really I have no idea what will be honest and admit that little bit at the same time it scares me, and very but very excited. My Great Journey was a wonderful lesson about life, how to deal with uncertainty. Several years ago my "Old" personality (ie, before the Great Travel) would be in complete shock and panic if I would not know exactly what life has for me in the plans for the next year or two, where I work, where I live and with whom I share a bed. Now, trying to imagine the next 1-2 years of my life and I have no idea what will happen. Is the year I lived with the Dutch Jurek, or not? Is the year I lived in London, Amsterdam, Singapore and others? Will I worked in the same company doing the same thing, or somewhere else doing something completely different? I do not know, and I'm okay with that. I am very grateful for the fact that in my life I have so many different options and possibilities. I dress myself in them as very ulegalkach I like it. Whatever happens, will be good :-) I wanted to during my Wielkiek Travel learn how to better deal with uncertainty, and please no really - life offers me many opportunities to practice ...
coming home after 8 months by:
more willing to accept what life puts in my way
calmer internally and emotionally
more tolerant and open minded to people about, wygladach and experiences other than my
believer that life offers me everything I want, if only one explains to him exactly what I mean
believing that what is happening wszysto in my life, happens for good reason, even if I have no idea what This may be the reason
grateful, oh so very grateful for everything I
living the moment instead of worrying about tomorrow forever
less forever comparing himself to other
believing it to be responsible - in spite of internal protests - for everything that I met in my life
without commenting on other people (each time When someone appreciate, it says more about me than about the other person)
So that ends my Great Asian-African trip and zaczylam next titled "back to civilization and the beginning of the rest of my life"! From time to time, stay tuned to this blog, nidgy do not know when I had a Venetian, in order to continue here describe points of interest in life-podrozniczo-philosophical ... Kisses!
