Travel Bounce

This is some bounce especially for my travel buddy Louise who is in Oz right now (28/3/02) wondering what the hell she is doing so far from home on her own.

Go for it girl ! Just keep bouncing!

I was told by a friend of mine (cheers Andy) that one of the things I should prepare myself for when travelling alone were those moments of isolation. Like when you first arrive at a place and don't know anyone yet and don't have your bearings.

He said there would be times like that when you would feel terribly alone, isolated, a million miles from home and wonder what the hell you were doing. They will pass. You make friends and get used to a place and the experience of going through all this will help you grow and develop as a person. Real character building stuff. Now I know why some people think I am either very mad or very brave to do this. Its not mad or brave its just an adventure & those moments of feeling lost are part of it. They pass & there will be so many more moments of sheer joy, excitement and happiness that it will all be worth it!

Good luck & mucho bounciness to all my solitary travelling buddies !!
