How I found my love for travel
”I wanted to travel, eat new foods and move away more than anything”
I kind of stumbled on my love for travel...
I was so dead set on the path they preach to you about in school... go to uni...get a good job...be successful... settle down that travelling to me just seemed like something people with a lot of money did! I thought I’d have to stick to one holiday a year like most people!
When my A levels didn’t go the way I wanted I was honestly heart broken and I had no idea where to go or what to do next.
Kind of like a mini breakdown!
I lived in a small town, I had a good job that I was progressing well in when I suddenly realised that everyone around me was older and doing the same role! I loved everyone I worked with but I knew I wanted more! I didn’t want to be stuck in a job I wasn’t in love with!
No that I couldn’t have my first vision of perfection (the degree and dream job);
I wanted to travel, eat new foods and move away from my town more than anything!
I was sat in a Wetherspoons for my best friends birthday and I just happened upon an opportunity to work abroad for the summer and I thought about it for a few days “I couldn’t go alone” “I can’t be away from everyone I know” “I don’t speak the language” “I’ve only ever been abroad once” so many worries!
But In the end I said YES!
That was 5 years ago now, I’ve now moved to Mallorca permanently and have got an apartment with my wonderful boyfriend who I met over here!
I guess what I’m saying is take the jump, take that leap of faith and believe in yourself! Say YES to opportunities that come up because if I hadn’t have been sat in that Wetherspoons that night who knows there I’d be now!
