Before departure
Adventure of lifetime begins...
01. 01. 2012 - Origins of the idea
I dont remember where the first idea to travel to Asia came from or when. It's one of those things that sleep inside you for a while and then one day come to you as a thing you've been thinking about forever. It was just waiting for the right moment. And in the same way I found my travel partner - accidentally :)
Imagine that you are free from all conventional restrictions - work, family, lack of time or money, and you can do with your life just about ANYTHING you want. There are no limits. My decision put me in exactly such a moment - I am at the beginning and all big decisions, all choices and crossroads are still ahead.
I am free to do ANYTHING. It's time to spread my wings and fly.
