Around the world: Split

Having travelled this much helps with setting the baseline expectation that I have on places, people and events. Before I’ve been to these places, I have these unrealistic expectation of how wonderful they are, which makes me miss the things that are otherwise wonderful when evaluated against reality.

So, 11 months into my travel. It seems that I can’t help but attract others to talk to me. It gets tiresome for me as I don’t get any alone time and these relationships don’t result in anything.

Mauricio has been traveling for 6 years. Seen 150 countries or so. He’s the first Vagabond whom I do not feel is weird. But then again, I am stepping into the Vagabond territory now.

Met my first Taiwanese girl who backpacks. Weird, all Taiwanese has that baseline weirdness. Bad social skills even after having travelled for so long.
