Travel for self discovery
I started reading online that traveling is supposed to help you discover yourself. They call it “self-discovery.” People even recommend places to go India, Tibet, the Amazon…
I picked India because it was the cheapest.
The first few days were great. Everything was new, everything was different. It’s a completely different culture.
But then came the part where I actually started getting to know myself.
By the third day, I couldn’t stand the guy.
I started looking back on my life and thought, Could I possibly be a bigger dickhead? I haven’t written a book. I haven’t had a kid. I haven’t planted a tree. Basically, I’ve accomplished absolutely nothing.
Hell, I don’t even have any friends.
Although, I guess that explains why I’m traveling alone.
Nobody can stand me. I can’t stand myself?!
So no, I don’t recommend traveling for self-discovery.
Most of the time, all you discover is why you’ve been avoiding spending too much time alone with yourself.
