The sacrifices I gladly make

*You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a plane ticket, which is more or less the same" Traveling is great in so many ways (I will get to that later on), but it can also be difficult and hard. Me and my husband have been traveling like this for more than two years now. We started off kind of safewith Barcelona for about four months. We quit our jobs and said goodbye to friends and family to live our dream. It really wasn't easy. When I think about our time in Barcelona I think about a special chapter in my life. That period of time was the time when I finally grew up and found out exactly what I wanted to do and how I wanted to live.Living in Barcelona was sometimes hard. We had to live in a small room together, working hard at a call center (which was one of the worst things I've ever done) and we had no money. I am so glad we decided to go there, to follow our hearts and to really try our wings. Haha that sounds so cheesy, but it's so true. After Barcelona a whole new world opened up. All of a sudden we were notlonger stuck in Sweden, we could choose wherever we wanted to go. Chile was spectacular and so hard at times. We just bought our plane tickets to Chile with basically no plan, we didn't even have jobs. But everything sorted itself out. Now we're in Japan, a place I'vebeen wanting to visit since my young teenage years. We live in a small room (as always), we live simple but we are stressfree, happy and light-hearted. Traveling like we do have downsides, naturally. I could make a list of comforts that we miss, or about all the times we've been lost, cold, homesick or upset. But, I won't. I wouldn't ask for anything else than what we have. I love traveling like this. I even love our bad days, just because it makes the good days better. Traveling like this gives me a whole new perspective. It makes me realize what I should be greatful for and how precious life is. Cold winds in the Andes - Mendoza
