21- Counting down the days



10 days and then it will be freedom. Still 10 days and I’ll say that I’ve done it, after 88 days. I’ll be able to apply for my second Visa. I’m looking forward to say that, especially because the end of my farm job will coincide with a departure. The start line toward a long road trip which will bring me up north to Whitsundays and further.
I feel like I’ve been planning this trip for ages, even if I’m aware that I’ve been gathering information and interesting news about the places I’ll visit just for a couple of weeks.
I’ve set out a long but clear pattern which it’s going to be the right choreography for the last period of my first year overseas. Then, it will be Italy for a while, finally Australia again, next January. I know, I’m conscious that I was born to do this kind of life. Travelling’s always been my dream. There’s a pretty famous phrase, by the writer Mark Twain, which say:

“ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
What he said has become my reason of life. I’m aware of the fact that I can’t do it forever, but now, right now, it’s the moment of my life where I need to explore, discover, dream as he said.

“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile”
