I’m writing, finally.
You stopped writing @Amparo ?
Yep. I used to write and keep journals of my adventures, things I learned, people I met and how thy impacted me but as I kept wanting to minimize I started leaving my journals in park benches and then just stopped.
I felt that no one really cared or was interested.
Now well I don’t give a dung. I write because I enjoy talking to my self.
Totally mad.

Well, people that are genuine travellers DO care and would be over the moon listening or reading about your experiences, I can assure you! It’s only those that think we ARE mad that just don’t get the whole travel thing. I have this conversation often with that girl I went to India with as she is the only one that “gets it”. So please, keep writing and you will meet people that will want to talk about it forever - like I do lol
Everyone I meet and talk to about my travels all say, you really should write a book. Well, I really wish I had known way back in the day, just how MUCH travel I was going to end up doing. The things that have happened to me along the way, you just couldn’t write about I would say. But I could have and I should have. Some hilarious, sometimes dangerous, but always exciting things that Mr and Mrs 365 days a year who just work, eat and sleep would never dream of doing but secretly wish they could. (That’s totally fine for some by the way, before I get flagged again) 
Foresight is a wonderful thing, as is hindsight, but now I don’t think I could remember enough detail to write it. Then again I could, and so can you

I believe that we are born fearless (and infinitely curious etc). But as little kids, we are constantly being warned about the dangers, sometimes excessively so.
Where I am now, I do not see any children playing outside. That I find very sad. Yes, the news is dominated by the disappearance of a 14-year old, and that is awful. But we must learn to venture out.

You are absolutely right.
We learn fear and it takes a lot of courage and energy to be as bold and daring as we used to be.
Thank you for that reminder
