If you’re a control freak as I am, you know that is really difficult to let go. Everything needs to be planned to the tiniest detail and more. No, I’m not talking only about traveling. That’s how it is supposed to be done. Right? While working in New Jersey I’ve met a few girls from my home town and decided to go to travel with them. We had twenty days roughly planned. The only thing we knew was our accommodation in New Orleans and what places we wanted to go to. The only person who didn’t know we have almost nothing planned was me. Yeah, I let go. Not cause I wanted to but I was working so much that I had no other option. I told the girls to make a plan and I’ll adapt. That was my second mistake. We’re all so different. Five completely different personalities. That was doomed from the beginning. Being a little bit cheap and unorganized we slept a couple of nights in our car. Don’t do that if you don’t have to. It’s fun and exciting, but it’s also dangerous, some places illegal and extremely uncomfortable. Every day we would go to another place so we have tried to use our time as much as we could. That meant no sleeping for someone. While tired and possibly stinky we’ve seen beautiful nature, breathtaking Grand Canyon, stunning Yellowstone, cloudy Golden Gate Bridge and shiny Hollywood Sing. It seems ideal but it was far from that. It was snowing at Yellowstone in the middle of September, we got robbed in San Francisco and one girl attacked us at the Venice Beach. Let me give you some details about San Francisco robbery. Technically somebody stole our stuff from our car. And that happened to every car in a pretty long street. That’s a reminder to take all your belongings with you, including pets and kids. We finished our trip safely and were so sad to go home. I’ve tried not to cry at our goodbye but without success. Are you still wandering what were my mistakes? The first one was that I didn’t believe that the trip could be as amazing as it was and the second that I thought that the adjustment would be enough. Don’t behave like a suitcase and get involved.
