we were talking about our ultimate fantasy - to backpack across the US and Europe, not the omg-handbags-are-so-cheap-over-here kind of travel, but the let's-go-on-an-adventure-and-prepare-to-meet-random-people-and-get-lost kind of travel. all we need are passport, a backpack, a one-way air ticket, a map, and courage. i don't need a lot of cash, i need just enough to last me till i found a part-time, be it waiting tables or plucking apples, so that i can earn for the rest of my never-ending(how i wish) journey. i don't mind not staying in expensive hotels. i don't mind walking. i don't mind eating in a crappy restaurants as long as their food is good.
but what i do mind is being stuck here and keep wondering what the fuck am i doing with life.
Niva and I are destined to be soul mates. like seriously.
isn't it funny that only during the exam period that i would have such insane thoughts that make me want to just drop every single damn thing and escape.
or maybe i should just study so that i could graduate like everyone else and then proceed to my degree, graduate, and have a stable, not-so-well earning job, and then work till i die.
how exciting.

just read your post.
okay, first of all, i'm NOT a real backpacker. usually i just randomly travel in Taiwan from one place to another alone by myself (since my friends can't let go a lot of grown-up-stuffs-and-responsibility to do). The longest trip i've ever travelling is about 8 days (which is, not very long, and definitely NOT persuasive). maybe i'm just a traveler after all, not a backpacker.
However, i could somehow tell you the first step to let go of everything, and just walk the damn out of that door. i'm more of the hey-i-got-an-idea type of person. so when i thought of doing something, and, if the environment is in a favorable condition, i would just do it without thinking too much. once, school has start started for a week, and i wasn't really used to cope with the new semester, i felt like trying to re-charge myself (or felt like so want to escape from reality). so on Friday night, first week of semester, i suddenly felt like want to go out and breath some fresh air. i asked my best buddy but she was still considering. i didn't care much, kept persuading her until she agreed and quickly made a call and booked cheap motels room on Saturday night. so, we went to the north of Taiwan to check out and took photos of the old-fashioned streets.
so, once you've made a decision, just do it. dare to dream, dare to do, and your dream will come true. cheers.
