in motion (life?)
Trains are experts in creating nostalgic moments. At least to me. For me a train trip is always special, because either takes me to the freedom (and to the airport, or to europe), or to my everyday life (back from the airport or other trips). The first one is always full of excitement, the second full of sadness. Maybe not full of sadness, but not happiness. It also a great way to meet new people, even if in europe is not as easy as here to meet people. It is even difficult sometimes to look at people eyes. Everything is fast, and there’s no time for people or for ’loosing’ time.
And here, every bus, train, boat or airplane I take brings me to a new and unknown place, and that’s… this is a difficult feeling to discribe. It’s so nice to have the strange feeling that the time is not important. That you can just seat for hours talking with someone in the middle of the street, or decide that you’ll not sleep on that night because you wanna be with that person, or that you just wanna spend a few more days on the beach, or anything! no alarm clocks, no school, no attachments, no duties, no bad thoughts… just living life how it comes, optimistic, positive and happy. Nothing more than that. Being open to every new sign that will guide me somewhere.
And living here is cheap, and could still be cheaper. I spend around 6/7 euro a day (sometimes 4 or 5), and that includes guest house (sometimes very nice, like now, facing the ocean, sometimes just ok), food (in normal places, that would be the ‘bad’ places in europe, but where the food is fresh and tasty), snacks, internet, and some minor trips (to 4 or 5 hour trips). But it’s still possible to live cheaper, using dormitories, eating everything in the street, no internet, no small ‘luxurious’ things… but most of the times the difference is 1 euro a day, or 2, and sometimes would have no sense. And of course, you can eat in nice and clean places, sleep in air conditioning hotels with pool, or travel in first class. But this would have no sense for me, since this is not why I’m here, now.
I spend between 3 and 4 times less than in barcelona (including food, appartment, transport…everything!). And the only expensive thing is the airplane ticket from europe. And of course, find the right moment in your life to that. I guess it’s just a matter of knowing what to do. But I think that is impossible to be sure about such a big things like spending the life working, or traveling... It would be great to find something inbetween. And a person, a couple to share all these experieces. I mean a girl. My friend ribas, irmao, seems to combine these 3 things in perfect harmony. He is very happy, as I’m.
