That’s all it takes, really… and it starts in your mind. Imagine going to the jungles of Gabon looking for lowland gorillas caressing their little ones; listening to arctic wolves howling in the midnight sun in the tundra of Alaska, snorkelling in awe next to a blue whale wondering if it is really possible to dive through its blood vessels; exchanging goods and thoughts with the Asaro mudmen in the highland jungle of Papua New Guinea; becoming a witness of how they burn down the wicker man after having spent eight days widening your horizon in the desert heat of Black Rock City; or eating the best sushi you can find under the neon lights of Shibuya. It all starts with that first thought… and if you can think it, you can do it… and when it makes you feel tingly, you know you are on the right path. 

Not everything always turns out just like you imagined it. You’ll get disappointed… but paradoxically you will always get rewarded no matter how difficult or arduous a journey is. In some way, be it magical or cruel, it will make you better. Always. But you have to make that first step… out of your front door. That’s the most difficult part. Everything else is easy. Travelling is easy. Everybody can do it. If you can move, you can travel. What’s the worst thing that can happen? If you don’t like it and feel uncomfortable, just fly home or better yet, pick another destination… There are plenty to choose from.
