A leap into the unknown Sudan

Its kind of weird to describe your mother country as " the unknown"!. It's more like entering into a wonderland!. I lived in "Sultanate of Oman" since I was two, I learned their beliefs, language and habits, I even have the right to call myself Omani!..but I never felt alive, I've always felt like something is missing. the emptiness and the desire of wanting to see different places. like a bird trying to unleash those chains that surround it..until the time come to move to another station, could you imagine the feeling of fear that's joined with some warmth and joy..the lust of seeing different life with different people and not knowing what will be waiting for you? " Sudan"...I never thought that I would find myself there, I never felt more alive than now and that's why I needed to see more in the world. The street, the culture, and every single state is telling a story of a great country hidden from the world. so I decided to see every corner and feel the cold breeze in "Bajrawia " and get amazed by their pyramids. The heat of the weather, the warm we feel when gathering to hear stories and sing. this precise moment of freedom, we felt the whole world in our hand and that's what I was missing. After experiencing those feelings, I don't think I can stop now. Seeing the world is a dream I had for a long time, I don't know when and where I decided that but all I knew is that seeing one area is not enough for me. " Al Sabalouga Gorge ", A spiritual magic breaks through your soul and paint a picture of paradise within your eyes!. for a second I thought I was dreaming, I've heard about it, but I never believed. for a second my tears poured !, maybe because of the view, or because I am getting close to my dream. frankly, I don't know. all I knew is it touched my heart so deep that I could see the reflection of my soul in its crystalline water !. Waterfalls, The verdancy that makes you wear your glasses so it won't blind you from its shine and clear color. It is funny how I thought that I would love to die here !. I'm not exaggerating, but its a matter of pureness. We all seek peace and calm. We all seek to go back to the day we born, where everything was pure. I think this what made me cry, The moment of purity and calm I felt, the feeling of witnessing one of the god's heavens on earth ! and the passion and lust to see more. That's exactly why I adore traveling and seeing different places, Its like hunting to find a piece of your soul! the ultimate pleasure to caress with my bare hands every precious grain of sand, every smell and tree and that's I see the real passion of travel. I am a 23 years old girl who wants to live each day like its the last. Acapulco, Rome, Greek, and the list is carrying on. I can not determine a precise country or area to travel to, because every place has its beauty and its unique feature. back now to Oman. A country that never free from views and places. I saw what the east has from views and beauties, but now let's move to different places with different heaven and unique features. Food, and trying different tastes is another passion to travel. In each country I heard about fruits I never tried before, so I yearn to "eat, pray and love". I yearn to taste from what the earth sprouted, and lie down to see different skies !. Every breath I take I want it to be the first I take every single time I see a new thing. This is my story and it's not finished yet until I achieve my dream. My journey is hard and joyful and I desire to travel into the unknown with a lively heart. Believe, Trust and prey for god with all the faith in my heart to make it true.
