We are back! (After 4 months and 10 days)

"Wow!"

I couldn't say anything else to express my overwhelmed feeling when I opened our front door after being away from my sweet home for more than 4 months. I didn't realise that my living room was that spacious, kitchen was that nice and bedrooms were that cosy. Extremely ordinary things around me suddenly become very special and precious.

Yes, we are back!
We packed away on the 4th July 2013 and returned on the 14th November 2013. We have travelled 14 countries and over 27 cities. It was an absolutely amazing and tremendous journey. Each place we have been that has carved unforgettable and truly priceless memories into our heart and I believe we will enjoy the little pieces of the memories all our lifetime. I am glad that we have made our dream trip and came back safely and healthy.

Travelling 14 countries and over 27 cities offered us magnificent and sensational experiences even though some places are far different from our expectations. Every single day was unique and extraordinary. I had to admit that it was not always easy for me to adapt the cultural differences and understand the diversity of customs. However, the journey was absolutely sensational and I am extremely proud of that we decided to do it and have made it.

'Nothing is permanent.' and 'Life is too short not to do what you want.'
Theses made us to plan the long trip and I am glad that our decision didn't disappoint us. I still remember that we were very nervous and unsure about the things (mainly bad ones) that may can happen while we were away. Any reason, we seem to worry more than necessary and the worries stop us to pursue our wishes. When I came back from the trip, (fortunately) I have found nothing much has happened around us and the fact ensured that we made a good decision. I would like to tell anyone who is delaying their dreams because of distressing or concerning about what could happen, "Just do it, all will be fine!"

After 4 months of journey, I am sitting on the same sofa, in the same living-room, in the same house and having the same job. However, I am not the same person. I feel stronger, fresher and healthier than ever. I truly appreciate what I have more than before. Experience on simple living (4 months with 20kg of baggage) was challenging but it taught me real value of possessing. This travel taught me countless things and I trust that they will help me to overcome life barriers easier.

As much as I loved travelling, I am happy to be back. The end of trip in India, I was looking forward to coming back to my home, my castle.  Honestly, I started missing my ordinary life which I wanted to get away. I think everything has its own limit and being away from home for 4 months was close to my limit. Now I am back and enjoying the comfort which I didn't appreciate enough. I know I will get bored one day and looking for some where to escape but I am happily enjoy this feeling at the moment.

I will write about what I have seen and experienced during the trip in my coming blogs so please share with me.

"Welcome home Jin!!!!"
