AN INSIGHT THROUGH MY JOURNEY THAILAND PART 3

in #travel8 years ago (edited)


  Its been a few days since the last time I posted about my travels around thailand, you can check the  prior posts about it over here : https://steemit.com/travelblog/@flyover/looking-for-answers-finding-more-questions-thailand-part-1 and here : https://steemit.com/dream/@flyover/looking-for-answers-finding-more-questions-thailand-part-2 .  

This pictures were taking literally in the first 3 days of my travels and I really hope you like them.

 You know? There were a lot of  times where people would ask me if I´m travelling “alone” I remember answering to all of them   explaining how “When you travel with someone, you travel with someone…

 When you travel solo,  you travel with everyone… “.   


Since arriving to Thailand suddenly everything seemed to appear interesting

 in front of my eyes, I was completely captivated by the  multiple details I 

could be aware of per second, the time was flowing slow, mellow, like 

honey  pouring from a spoon , dense, shiny and so sweet . the air full of 

smells and smokes , the locals and  their fame of gentle smiles were partially

 right and the sensation of looking like a hundred  bucks ( or should I say

 like a 100 steems) was real,  In the other hand the 

vast majority of locals  where simply overwhelmingly nice to me , they 

helped me in a wide range of situations and I will be  always grateful for it. 

  Also, the tourists, that specie that really don´t want yourself to 

be compared with, ok yeah, you´re  essentially a tourist but well you can 

clearly establish a line that divides the travelers from the so  called “tourist”

 the difference is not on the clothes they wear or the l but luggage you carry 

but on the mindset, the  main difference can be find in the fact that the 

traveler allows and train his mind to simply BE  THERE and let the 

environment in , because when you don´t, when you simply 

base your travels in  making a few pictures collecting locations to drink , eat

 , fuck and shit you become a sort of plastic human being.     



(Here some of the characters I  shared my time with and some other picture I

 enjoyed taking, a brief 

descriptions can be found at the bottom of this post.) 







  A human being who is so plastified that is unable to feel related to his 

context, unable to feel how your reality is just one reality within a 

 multidimensional reality , how culture shape us in to different forms ,

 and yet at the same time a reallity where we share basic and deep 

common denominators , how universal is the language of the eyes, how

 a “hi” and a smile can take you to the moon and back, and how one is 

jus0t who he is due to circumstances and choices, basically that´s all you 

are, that´s all we are; circumstances and choices only.  Travelling, as I see

 it, is a open gate to reinvent yourself, to grow, to put in practice all you

´ve learned , all the information gathered trough the years and 

the experiences and then update yourself in to a better version of 

yourself, one that refines you and ultimately dump all the residual 

components of your persona, living behind the slavery that your 


own Ego impose over you. I really hope you guys enjoyed reading my 

thoughts as much as I enjoyed writing about them, specially this one post 

where I feel I´ve really been able to speak my mind.

Beautifully said, you hit the nail on the head.

Traveling can be the catalyst for growth, propelling you into the best version of yourself. The multitude of experiences and connections happen at such a quicker rate than if one just did the same routine, contributing in an immense opportunity for personal growth.

I love your line "Traveling...update yourself in to a better version of yourself, one that refines you and ultimately dumps all the residual components of your persona, living behind the slavery that your own Ego imposes over you."

Spoken from the heart.
