Tales of a Turbulent Traveller

I woke up one day to the realisation that if we don't get up and do things in life, then we will forever be unfulfilled. The only way to accomplish true happiness is through experiences, through meeting new people, through the neverending turmoil of travelling. Whether it's down the road to your local supermarket, or halfway across the world to a place where you may be the only non-native there, everything you do, hear or see builds you up to reach the most prolific you. I've always wanted to travel, from a very young age I've clung onto a sense of farsickness. Wanting to be as far away from wherever I am at any given moment. It may seem dreamy, it may seem far fetched, but at the end of the day a goal in life is a very powerful thing. Belief in whatever you want to can achieve miracles. It can push you to do great things, whatever them great things may be. Life is another one of my pet hates to think about. The amount of hours I have spent pondering on life is as ridiculous as the amount of hours I have spent playing music. My next interest. Music is something that has been in my life since I can remember and my main aim would be to write about my experiences playing music in various countries, whilst experiencing different cultures and spreading my music to as much of the world as I can. As of now, my aims in life are to hit the road running with a guitar and an empty journal in hand, documenting my experiences in song and word with fond memories gleaming between pages. I am searching for what I beleive is happiness, and that's a tough one to grasp. "Happiness is real when shared," once said a great author who's aspirations brought him to his gruesome demise. However, them thoughts that flowed through his head have been a never ending torrent for me also. I yearn to have no responsibilities, to live life in the jungle, to swim in the frozen sea, to play music to people who may have never seen someone like me before, to document my travels, but above all to be happy and content whilst achieving these ambitions of mine.
