I am lucky enough to have an employer that still puts the welfare of their associates above the bottom line. We are encouraged to take a sabbatical, or a four week break from our normal day to day jobs. My sabbatical will most likely happen in 2021 and I really want to use that time to get all the way out of my comfort zone. I want to lose the many blessings and privileges that have been afforded to me.
What would it be like to not know where you will sleep tonight? Does that make me anxious or will I embrace the comfortableness of the unknown. What about something as simple as water? Something that I appreciate very much that I have access to fresh clean running water. What would it be like to give focus to daily water planning? Then there is the travel. I do like adventure and a few years ago I spent a few weeks wondering around Colorado just looking to find myself. While I had good intentions to live spontaneously, I still found myself staying at the Hilton or AirBnB rather than crashing on the couch of someone whom I just met. I want to be a wanderer and submit to the unknown.
So there it is. The spark that ignited an idea of traveling by myself. At the mercy of whatever happens. Going wherever the kindness of others will take me. I hope that this journey is interesting to you as well. Come along with me while I figure out how to do this thing safely. I hope to get a new perspective on my personal worldview.-YonK
