LET'S DO IT!

D-15.

In about two weeks, we will be flying over the Indian Ocean, excited to land in Indonesia, first step of our humanitarian world tour.

Anxious? Us? Barely...

Well, a little bit... It's been years we are dreaming about this, almost a year we are preparing it, and yet... we feel so nervous. As we could have imagined, the more the date is approaching, the stressier we are. WHAT'S GOING ON WITH US?

More seriously, we are so excited, but as it is becoming more concrete, we realize that we are about to leave everything (family, friends, job, surroundings, comfort zone, etc.) for two years of adventure. That's just a bit (very) scary! However, judging by the 110 world travelers' blogs we read to calm ourselves, it's apparently normal!

Why scared?

Well, there is the fear of being bitten by a tarantula, catching malaria, falling in a ravine, getting a tuk-tuk accident or being smashed by an elephant... but those fears, we keep them for later...

What worries us, right now, is to not have spent enough quality time with our loved ones, to not be prepared enough, and to ignore how this trip is going to impact us, physically and emotionnally...

Excited? And how!

That's all we are looking for. To be amazed in our eyes and hearts. Cultural shock and disorientation. Prepared, we are just as we should be: enough to reassure ourselves and not too much to let space for the natural discovery of the unexpected.
