Almost everyone thinks that I’m crazy to hitchhike alone. That I should not even talk about it to people because that might encourages them to do it themselves and I have no right to do that. And to a point I agree. I never tell people to do it. I’m not trying to convince anyone to hitchhike, especially not in South America, not alone. I don’t advertise it nor recommend it. But I think it’s not a sin to talk about what experiences it gave me. I cannot help loving the road. And when you love something so much you want to share your passion, like I share this photo with you now. I took this one at the end of October in Patagonia, Argentina while I was hitchhiking from Villa La Angostura to Bariloche. Just being there, alone, by the road gave me so much. There is nothing else but you. And life seems so simple, just like a one way road like this. No questions, no problems, no messy thoughts and endless choices. Being in this state of mind is a cure for me. Better than meditation, yoga or anything else normal people do to clear their heads. I just stand by the road, breath in the air and stare straight into the big nothing and I am happy. I can see clear. That’s why I love the road. And I don’t want you to understand or agree with me. Just look at this picture and be happy in any way you prefer. What is your way of clearing your mind? . . . #mindfulness #peaceofmind #alonetime #hitchhiking #ontheroad #traveling #adventure #wildsoul #road #thosethatinspire90 #90daycontentchallenge #travelphoto #argentina #bariloche #enlaruta Facebook Tumblr Tweet Pinterest Tetszik 0 2019. január 05. - lea.daranyi leadaranyi készítette ezt a képet.

This is one of my very favorite pictures of 2018. Maybe because I think I was the happiest at this moment, reading a book in silence. I did many awesome things last year, had uncountable adventures but I think I have pushed myself too far and burnt out a bit. At some point I just didn’t want to meet anyone. I was not curious to see anything new, to talk to anyone, to look at sights or in the eyes of people or to think about anything. I got tired of the world and the people in it. This is quite a horrible thing to admit for someone super social, an extreme extrovert like me. Then when I stopped for a second in Buenos Aires to think about why am I feeling just sad and tired for no reason when I’m at my favorite continent ever where I am always the happiest, I could finally see it. I spent literally no time alone. I had no time to recharge, to do nothing, to just enjoy looking out of a window alone. The last years have been crazy, I have traveled to so many places, struggled with finding the money for the new adventures, and I never seemed to want to stop. I pushed myself into everything and I gave 100% of me wherever I went and whoever I talked to. I was always super proud of my inexhaustible energy. So when it actually ran out I ignored it for a long time. Because it is impossible. I cannot be tired. I want this lifestyle with every bit of my heart. Yes, I still do. But I needed this week alone in Patagonia, in my little cabin to find my peace with letting myself charge sometimes and just stop. That this is also part of me, and it is just a human thing. Letting myself not rushing towards my dreams but actually stopping to enjoy the moment. I am only learning to go slower and to look inside more and care more about myself. I naturally do the opposite but I want to learn it. At least I know that I have a safe place somewhere in this crazy world. Its called Patagonia. That is where I can always find my peace, no matter how messy my mind seems to be. . . . #peaceofmind #mindfulness #travel #patagonia #metime #alone #cabinlife #alonetime #findpeace #reading #90daycontentchallenge #90daychallenge #thosethatinspire Facebook Tumblr Tweet Pinterest Tetszik 0 2019. január 03. - lea.daranyi leadaranyi készítette ezt a képet.
