I must be every round the world trip advisor’s dream. I came in saying I wanted to go anywhere but here with money not being an object and left with a ticket for 15 destinations in 12 countries. I finally felt a little bit like myself again. Round the world travel is my new religion and Lennert is my new god.
Maybe it is my age, maybe it is character but I have a general feeling that my life needs a new direction. Yesterday I had lunch with a friend from medical school that I had not seen for four years. I was not very surprised to see that four years had not done much for him. Still his usual self and still very proud of his extremely decent and riskfree life.
I am just incredibly fed up with all these people so proud of their well-paid jobs and their expensive houses, getting married, having children, going on package holidays six weeks a year. If that would be my life you might as well put me in a straight-jacket and hurry me off to the loony bin.
Point is that you only live once and life is not a sum of what happens to you but rather what you make of it. People die, relationships break up, jobs do not turn out as expected – so what!
All I have to do now, is just say yes.
