Travel Adventures
I have to make a confession. This challenge I put myself in has proven to be a challenge indeed! To refresh your memory – I’ve decided to up my game and write on one topic for 2 whole weeks: whatever it is that my heart desires…as long as it’s related to travel.
Pfew! It’s not been an easy week I tell you and there are still three days to go! As it IS my blog I can say “you know what? I’ll just say I tried it and it didn’t work!” and that would be the end of it. However what would that say about my character as well as my ability to push through a challenge? So that’s why today’s topic – travel adventures – is closer to home than all the other 6 posts I’ve written.
When I was a student in The Netherlands, there were multiple times when the travel bug would bite me and no way that I could shake it off. One particular adventure had to do with London.
I got to know this lovely lady from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and she went to live in London. She asked me to come visit, so I asked a friend of mine (Marielaaa come in!) to go with me to visit her (Sabina you remember this?). This was the time before the internet had tons of travel information. We looked for a cheap ticket to London and off we went!
Now thank GOD, that I packed bread and peanut butter in my suitcase [probably my sixth sense? who knows?] because once we got to Heathrow Airport, we had to buy a train ticket to go to where my friend was living. Lo-and-behold. We did not have enough money for a return trip by train! So we panicked. A little. Ok. A lot. Because here we are, two quite innocent girls at the time, not knowing much of the world, stranded at Heathrow Airport!
After much deliberation, we decided to buy a single ticket, and off we went. Now, if I tell you that this was the best vacation we had up to that point, you wouldn’t believe me. But it was. We spent time laughing, just having fun. Ah.. simpler times!
Do you have any adventure that you’d wish to share? Let us know below!
