Today I have just done it. I have looked through the whole of my own blog from the very beginning.
Most intriguing to read, how you evolved and how you didn’t know at any moment what would happen next… But didn’t it become better and even better?? 🙂
Much has happened. My fear that I would look back and it would all feel like 2 months was without reason. A long time, filled with incredible experiences, is behind me. In my older entries I often mentioned my parents, not knowing that I would share all the experiences and impressions first hand with them one day.
And it was but a success, this time together! The central people of my life had the chance to have an extended look into my life far away.
The most precious moments were those, where my friends from here (be it flatmates, colleagues from work or acquaintances I wouldn’t want to have missed) had the chance to meet my parents after they had met me.
And as I proceed writing this post, I am positive that I don’t know anything that is about to happen in the next 2 months. I am before it all, just as back then, when I didn’t even know how Wellington looked like up close.
Tomorrow I will pick up Elvis, my best friend, from the airport and will experience New Zealand and Australia with him. I will have a peek into South-East Asia and soon after that I will hold my nephew in my arms along with all my loved ones at home.
One day I will sit there. In my office chair that I haven’t seen for 17 months. I will log in and start a new post. I will listen to music that has accompanied me on my journey on my dearly missed speakers and I will write all about how I am. I will do it over and over again and I am sure I will have to review a lot. For after this journey, I will actually be able to give advice to those who are yet to have this great trip.
But all that is in the future. Now I am to focus on the present. 36 days are left in New Zealand. Of 16 months. Then 3 weeks of Australia, followed by 10 days from Singapore to Bangkok.
This is the dawn of the 7th and last age in New Zealand. Once more seeing all the known and the unknown and after that, only forward.
