10 Cities, 100 Discoveries: 7 London Travels
Someone famous said, “Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” For me, it’s a new way of seeing things, or as Carrie, from Sex and the City said it’s reminding myself that, “[Everything] is just a plane ride way.” Besides, what would the journey, 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, be without travel, or more specifically, 10 unique cities. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 Cities here and the entire project here. Enjoy the ride, I sure am!
Sometimes, you have to go far away just to come back home. Admittedly, I loved everything about my Europe adventure. I’d do it again in a heartbeat (with some modifications) and I learned some invaluable lessons that I don’t think I could have learned anywhere else or if I hadn’t been traveling alone.
On a London double-decker tour bus, I spotted the below saying – Travel is a means to an end. Home. The saying hit me hard. At this point in my travels, I was a little homesick. I was also coming to the realization that we travel to better appreciate what we have at home – the creature comforts, but also the people in our lives.
If you’ve been a friend for long, then you’ve probably heard my philosophy – it doesn’t matter where in the world you are. People can adapt to anything. What matters most is the people you are with. This idea is one of my strongest beliefs. Traveling through Europe for thirty days only solidified my belief in it.
