Here, I am going to introduce precious tourist spots
Including major cities in Vietnam
exotic islands
the exploration of the longest cave in the world for four days and three nights.
In addition, I am going to share useful information for traveling
and feelings, thoughts, and experiences I gained during such traveling.
Above all things, I am posting this
because I would love to write about what we need to contemplate at least once in our lifetime.
Homoviatro, a man setting off on a journey to find the meaning of life
All my wanderings began from the thoughts as follows:
is the life I am living at this moment the consequence of the choices I have made
or am I just living a life as time lets things flow?
I was afraid that my life might resemble the leaves.
A life without planning, like the fallen leaves, led by the flow of water and wind regardless of their own will, blocked by a stone and stuck around it, or sometimes just floating in the water.
I had to find what I can choose and what I want to choose.
However, even though I took much time to think
I could not help but find that my scope of thoughts and experience were very limited.
It led me to think that I need to take time to find what makes me happy and who I really am.
I wanted to push myself intentionally to meet people in a new environment and culture so that I could find myself and build my life that I have never expected.
Through people I meet during my journey and their thoughts, new culture, and new circumstances, I can have opportunities to think outside the box.
I can also encounter my true self not influenced by others during a journey taking time alone.
And, finally, I arrived in Stuttgart.
There, I had a friend who had come to Germany as an international student and now is working at Mercedes-Benz.
After listening to what brought him to Germany, I started my story.
Today is the last day of my journey and I might go back to Korea without having answers to my questions.
What he said let me think that my struggle to find out only one thing that I have to choose or my thought that I have to choose something could be wrong assumptions resulted from my prejudice.
That day, I could finally find what made me think limited so far and at the same time I could really step forward from my limitations.
From that moment, I don't try to find what I like any more while traveling and gaining various experience any more. Rather, I try to make what I like more through traveling and gaining different experience.
This is, at least, the life I would like to live at this moment.
Anyways, after I realized this, I decided to live a life that flows where my heart leads me.
After three years, I stopped running a guesthouse started with the funds I had raised in my twenties and operated very well and also quit my current work which was very stable. And I went to Vietnam and started to live there under a monthly lease.
I still do not know whether this decision would be the worst choice I have ever made in my life or the best one after 10 years.
