How can Oli travel the world?

Even I do sometimes wonder at my past trips. How was I able to do all that and also make friends and inspire people all over the world?

A journey might sound like the wildest and most unforeseeable and most overstimulating thing ever that humans undertake, but in reality, all that is but secondary.

Mainly, a trip is a confined timeframe, with a set purpose and plan. You move quite consciously through time and space and with certain expectation of what kind of trip you would like to have.

Also, preparations: You kit out, always pack too much, you learn words and phrases in a foreign language, you gather info on safety and environment, you negotiate preferences with possible travel mates and previsualise your experience.
You make reservations, buy tickets, plan events and precalculate ways and resources.

And all that only to be able to be at ease and to cruise along smoothly on the journey, to take turns freely, to let inspiration approach, to feel at liberty, to leave worries behind, to find new things.
Every complication is amplified while on a trip: There is special insurance for going abroad, there are countless offers for tourists, the locals generally are understanding towards travellers and especially towards those who can adapt a bit.

While travelling, many people experience what I live through each day in an intense way: A frame makes relaxation possible in the first place and creates boundaries to let creativity and passion run free.

The following is a special achievement in travelling: To be among the locals, to do what they do, to act as one of them even if it is far from the comfort zone you are bound to return to.
