What I Learned About Life in 4 Months
From 4 Different Countries
I’ve been travelling a lot this year. Not as many as some, but enough for me. Canada twice, cross country RV trip through the USA, Peru and now Mexico. Each trip held many challenges.
My first trip to Canada was all bad. Not one single solitary thing good about it. No wait, scratch that. I did get to spend some time with good friends and one sister. I saw my son albeit under horrible circumstances (mom’s funeral).
The cross country trip through the USA was a total nightmare. We hit road block (pardon the pun) after road block.
Peru was a near disaster. I was sick the whole time and alone. And just about hated it.
And then Mexico. Mexico was decision making time for me. I came here to see if I could live here. Turns out I can. And I will.
Now just to clarify, I didn’t embark on these journeys for any life lessons or to try to find myself. Each trip was for different reasons.
So what did I learn?
A shit ton of things.
I learned that sometimes you have to do things that are really fucking shitty in order to grow. I also found out who your true friends are when you have to do and go through those shitty things.
