Anyhow, why am I telling you this? Well, first I'm making up for missing a post last Friday, another is because I wanna share with you what I think most people my age finds to be an issue.

The Moment I Fell in Love with Travelling |
I bet you've wondered at least once in your life - I'm pushing 30 but what have I been doing all my life? I know coz I've shared this kind of thought with my sister and friends. It seems like a question we like to avoid. Being a person who takes everything which covers anything seriously, I asked myself this question and thought long and hard about it.
Let's face it. Most of my friends are already married. Some even have 2 kids already. You might think that's not a big deal, but in Malaysia - it definitely is. I've had people asking me "Why are you still single?" "When will you get married?" "You have to get married!" Calm down, ladies. The world ain't gonna end just because I'm single. I've thought long and hard about this, and I'm not ready for marriage.
Like I said, I asked myself what I've been doing for the past 26 years, and to be fairly honest, I can't remember every single detail of the past years. What I do know is - what I want to do now, and what I wish to achieve!
When I see my friends getting married, I'm happy for them. I really am. But I know that I am not ready. Thinking of the responsibility is too much for me. Besides, I've just realized my passion to TRAVEL!
I was never interested in travelling. When my parents wanted to take me to attractions back in the UK, I wasn't that excited over it. I even went to Paris, Amsterdam and many other places in the Europe in my teens. - I just followed along. I questioned why people get excited over such petty things. In fact, I didn't even take that many pictures since I couldn't be bothered to. Which turned out to be one of my life's regrets (no surprises there).

At Hobbiton Movie Set, New Zealand |
But then I went to New Zealand - everything was just BEAUTIFUL! I don't even know how to describe it in words to be honest. It was like someone gave me the best formula to lose weight, while allowing me to eat to my heart's content! Yeah, I think you know what I mean.
Anyhow, because of that - I now have travel goals that I want to fulfill. Maybe you start realizing nature's beauty with age, or maybe when you really open your eyes and look around you start admiring the beauty of seeing the World with your own eyes. I guess I'm in that phase.
Now I'm thinking of travelling every quarter of the year. I have 4 planned out for 2019, and Switzerland and Japan on my priority list though Japan would have to wait until 2020 as I've already booked for Korea in Spring 2019.
I used to be a big spender, but I won't be now that I have my goals. Now, ain't that a good outcome? Any other ideas on where I should go?
Cheers,
Nabihah
