recollection and understanding- what it means for me to be a traveller!
Why do people travel?
Not the journey what the things you find along the way!
Is it about finding yourself or finding the person that was lost?
Not to escape fully but to learn fully!
 Why do I travel?
Being a traveller came so easy for me, was never afraid, never thought it was unachievable, never let negative feelings get in the way. Just looking to be free to escape. It was not until I started letting it take over; not feeling happy unless I was changing where I lived or unless I was travelling, not necessarily out of Britain but as many places as I could. It was only when I hadn’t travelled for 6 or so years that I realised it was a part of me, being in a relationship and not being able to afford it were the main reason. It came clear that that’s what I wanted that was who I was.
At this point I find myself questioning why I got the bug in the first place, what led me to want to see more in the way of life and culture? Why am I more confident and comfortable in a chaotic and unsure situation?
Deep down I knew that not being accepted in society for the person I am was a big factor, always feeling alone and invisible because of my conditions and capability’s and in some way I was grateful for it! That sort of treatment (I didn’t know at the time) gave me an inner strength to go out a face whatever came my way. and honestly it isn’t easy having high learning difficulties but I always pick myself off dust myself off and go.
So escape no matter what hurdles where what I was doing saying fuck you I can do this, and I do. Even if it means I miss a flight or get lost or whatever it doesn’t matter I just keep going.
But now I don’t just travel, I journey to festivals and write about the experience and that is now one thing that matters the most to me, spreading the word about events, letting people know what not to do and just explore!
