bethink : one - travel.


bethink.
to remember; to recall.

starting on a new-ish series of writing here about the things that i miss in general--whether i have done these things or not. but i'll try not to go too archaic and write mostly based off my experience, so here we go!

episode one: i miss traveling.

to new places where i am nervous about taking the bus or train because i'm afraid i'd make a fool of myself; to discover an old spot with fresh eyes and a brand new perspective; to explore without worrying much about time passing; to travel.

i haven't had the chance to travel much this year, nor will i have anymore plans to travel in the rest of the year. other than that one trip i made to Singapore in January this year (which was quite a brilliant trip, i must say, in spite of my wallet being thin as paper after coming back), i won't have time this year to travel abroad or even locally. i will be doing my internship in my long semester break this time around, so that means my next holiday/sem break will be next January. sigh.

i miss taking pictures of brand new sights on foot. i miss taking risks and chances. i miss having late night talks with the friends whom i am on these trips with. i miss all of these things, because traveling changes you a bit every time you do it. even if it's just to a new train station where you've never stopped by before, it will open your mind a little somehow. you'll feel like an explorer, a foreigner, a stranger in a new world. adrenaline pumps through your veins, and you skip a little as you walk, hoping that you would come to find something exciting just around the corner.

traveling gives you that effect. 

by the way, tell me where you would love to travel to and why! 
would love to hear all about it (:

would like to travel to places no one rly go to alot bc i guess i don't like being mainstream (lame much) and what you said about 'travelling gives you the effect' rly makes alot of sense. in some ways.
