I am not the traveler, I am the explorer of my own

I didn't expect to find Nepal

I love to see videos of traveler, blogs of people being in different places, exploring places and peoples been to every mountain, hills and so on and so many. I do follow them, Dean Schneider and Nas Daily are my favorites, to make me enlighten on the intention to travel. And also keep update me with the videos of some you tuber and bloggers regarding the travel. Seeing them, I am not the traveler nor the explorer, I am nothing in comparison to them. But who is here, in competition and to compares. People invest all their life in traveling, all their money on traveling, making blogs, making a fancy video (no offenses) and they travel a lot. So before I started traveling and exploring I didn’t expect to find my inner peace in a different way. Born in a middle-class family and developing country, it’s very demanding even to wish for a holiday trip. Yeah, I born to the simple family, where we grow up in the hills with soil and smells of grass and mud all over. That’s why, these modern kinds of traveling like sports dress, shoes, traveling bag, camera, etc seems fancy to me. People may have been to several times to different places, travel so much and had lots of experiences. They definitely spend a lot of money and the trending places, because everyone is visiting and clicking pictures with lots of fun and smiles. But does that really makes you happy? Does that really makes them happy? Does traveling to fancy places and investing lots of money means traveling? Does money define happiness? Investing lots of vacation and holiday trips in between the busy schedule of a year and your half of savings throughout the year is gone. But, I haven’t been to too many places, haven’t travel much in my life as much I need to or I think that’s I need to for my soul. But I had traveled the same places hundreds of times and had different and sometimes the same experiences with a different way of feeling of that very same places. I have every bit of experience, every possible angle and dimensions of that same places. And today I decided to live that same experiences in different places in different dimensions fully, freely and I am happy to have it again and never mind to have it again and again. Yeah, it’s still a travelling and exploring for me. I always love traveling, it inspire me, it aspire me, and it fills my soul with courage and confidence and of course, adventures. I feel so joyful, just to visit the near places around me because I have the intention to travel and I believe it eternally. No matter what places, near or far, trending or not but I enjoy it as I am a traveler. I clicked nature, no matter it just the tree without leaves or pigeon eating grains, maybe it’s just the normal things but I love to click them. I don’t mind being at the same place again and again because traveling not always means to go a new place all the time it is the mental intention to make your soul happy, exploring the inner you. Every time I travel, see the people around it feels like I can relate, I know them very well. The smells of mud make me so nostalgic, that smile of the old man with the cigar in hand makes me overwhelm and kids of that goat gives the known looks. This is what travelling means to me. With every trip, I write some articles, thoughts, update the blog, some updated feelings, some self-realization, internalization, some poem of my feeling and some songs of it. I do click lots of pictures for the memories and I return with different kinds of energy in my soul. Energy to think beyond, do beyond and make a little contribution to the world. If you want to find some of my pictures of my traveling, you can find them on my Instagram and blogs too.
