The decision has not been made yet. Maybe i will adopt the KAIZEN step by step approach. So i'm working on a To Do list of things i should arrange of before i leave - things to pack, things to give, bills to pay. I also called my best buddy and told him i need some kind of a brain storming to arrange my thoughts. Yesterday i got such a warm welcome from you guys and i'm very grateful for it. It made me realize that many people have the same dilemmas, exploring same routes. What frighten me most is the uncertainty of outdoor living, it's so different from all things i got used to - where to stay, people and places you know, economic stability. On the other hand, this aspects of life do not excite me anymore and if to be honest i got bored, even my thoughts make me yawn - not again! I am wondering if i can easily find new friends on the road, places to stay. It occurred to me that i used to look at homeless people and think poor people and now i aim to be some kind of a traveling gypsy. Began reading Jack Kerouac's book On The Road. All the best folks and thanks again for your support and hugs, Guy
Yesterday I set the date - 5th of June. At the begining i told a friend i'm not ready to commit and then when talking i just mentioned the 5th of June as a date, it's the monthly pay rent day and a good opportunity to look for someone to take the apt. So, now what? So many things to be done, so many details. I might begin at Sofial where i will facilitate 2 WE ARE MEDIA workshops, and then will see.
Beautiful Saturday here in Tel Aviv. Went to the beach and now spending some time with friends. I have started telling people about my planns and reactions are amazingly supportive. I'm organizing an OnTheRoad playlist, thinking about the goals of my adventure.
Just published my apartment for rent, and my motorbike for sale. After doing it, i got cold feet and then i just got excited. This trip is really going to happen. Sorry for this twitterish kind of updates, but there is a lot to be done here. 27 days and the clock is ticking.
my best buddy Mor told me today 'You are already on the road'. Yep' i'm there. Sleepless nights. New feelings, thoughts and questions. My other best buddy Maya says 'Ask new questions' so i do! Will visit Sofia at the beginning of June, will facilitate a workshop and find a nice backpackers place (Should i take a more formal cloths?). Will meet new people. Will not read news about the bla bla bla conflict or Greece, Spain, EU economy.
Weird. I'm here and not here at the same time. Sitting with friends and thinking about something else. I fell in love which is even weirder. I've been told that it is very common that the letting go state brings new people into our lives. No attachments at all, just exploring the here and now, trying to learn as much as i could from this new guy in my life. The D-day seems to be June the 7th. Same date in which Prince celebrated his birthday by changing his name to a symbol (1993) - LOL. I will be arriving to Sofia and will stay there for few days. I hope to find people to travel with. The middle-east tension is unbearable, i would say hopeless but this place sure needs some hope. Abie Nathan - Israeli peace pioneer, used to wear only black shirts. He said that only when peace would be achieved, he will replace the black. He died 2 years ago, in black. So, i will be homeless until peace will be achieved, or just find a new place to make my new home.
