Feelings

On Saturday I was set to spend my second night as a homeless. It sounded for me rather funny and exciting, I knew how some people and friends would look down on me for that, but I said this is my trip, I wanted to experience something unusual and challenging and this is it. I could have gone to a hostel, even to the Fairmont if I wanted, but it would not be me. Saving money was not my only concern. I felt that this experience would push me forward, open my eyes and reminds me that even for mundane things we have we should be thankful. Funny, for 1000 bucks I could have gone to a luxurious cruise ship to Alasca or spent 10 days in a splended 5-star hotel with all inclusive – instead of that I chose for travelling as a tramp around the whole Canada, planning not to spend a penny for accommodation. Some people will say that I am crazy – I will contradict that this was for me something more exciting. I was in the middle of travelling across the second biggest country in the world, starting at the Pacific Ocean and ending at the most eastern place in Canada. I planned to see places for which a single visit from Vancouver costs at least half of my badget Natural treasures such as Lake Luise, Banff, Jasper, Niagara Falls, Canadian metropolities e.g. Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton and small historical places as Halifax and Quebec – I was about to visit all of them. For the price I paid it sounds like for free. For that obstacles I was about to cope with – it was still worth of it. And for those people I met on my journey – old and new friends – it was definitelly worth of it.. Many Canadians cannot flatter that they have ever left their own province. I was about to travel through all of them. Enjoying that unique freedom I had never felt before, I explored eagerly one city after another. Now, sitting at a table in Tim Hortons and enjoying my warm coffee, I started planning my next steps. That is the beauty that nothing for tomorrow has been planned yet. I can do whatever I want, spend my days in a strange city however I want. I can just go and sit on a bunch in a park and observe people living their lives. I can look on the world through different perspective – enjoy the secret beauty in common things which stay hidden for husty-living society. Now, I could have a rest of my whole life – during these three weeks there will be no university, no job, no future – the whole world will have another dimension....
