Oh! Recieving a call at 3.30 am tends to be sign of bad news. Generally people respect the fact that you are sleeping and dont call. However, tonight i decided to pick up the Private Number that was calling me, and afterall it was all good news.
It seems that I finally have a summer plane ticket to leave for my travelings. However, I do need to leave NL one day before expected. Lets face it, since when does one day difference matter that much? Somehow it suddenly does. It makes me face the reality that I am leaving for good, im moving away, time to change once again. And while I could stay here for two more months I decide to go and explore some new lands.... It just is happening so fast I dont even know if its the right way.
Shouldnt I hang around for a few weeks to say "goodbye" to the low lands? Or should I just ran away and take the chance that I have been given to go on a traveling journey?
Fingers crossed, if my ticket is finalized that means I will spend two weeks jumping from city to city visiting some American and Canadian cities for 2 weeks and jumping around the contient. Basically, a way of travelling that is against my principles. I like and believe in the traveler that explores one place by staying there for a long period of time. Having enough time to explore all the senses that the city offers, the outskirts,the people, the small streets behind the large avenues. The traveler that does not go through a "must see" list but also has time to wonder around to find new experiances. And yet, now i will become one of those Japanese tourists doing a one week visit to Europe and visiting, Madrid, Paris,Brussels,Amsterdam,Berlin and Rome all in 6 days. Ill be the 21 year old version transformed into the USA. Even though i have always dreamt of the typical american roadtrip.
So, traveling in what is " not my style", leaving the Netherlands the day after class finishes, and still not knowing exactly what my itinerary will look like is just not allowing me to sleep anymore
I start to hear the birds singing. Time to wake up?
