Experiencing the real Hokkaido – More than Sapporo & Hakodate
Promises to myself before traveling
I promise…
-
To travel in the moment and not be too fixated on my travel bucket list.
-
To take the route less chosen when given a choice.
-
Not to get consumed by social media.
-
Not to be obsessed with capturing every moment with my camera that I miss seeing beauty with my own eyes.
-
Not to take selfies that block out most of the background or have no link with whatever is happening.
-
To stay in touch with my loved ones.
-
To keep all the promises I make while traveling. Whether it’s getting in touch with a fellow traveler, sending postcards/photos back to my host family, or helping an NGO with some design work.
-
To be real and tell you things people usually don’t say about their travels because life isn’t always a bed of roses .
-
To update as frequently as I can but not at the expense of losing touch with my surroundings.
-
To make awesome GoPro videos when I’m back.
-
To continue doing a pike in every country.
-
To come back a better person.
-
To try all kinds of food, even if it’s weird and smells terrible.
-
To walk whenever I can, because that’s how we were made to move and travel.
-
To step out of my comfort zone and talk to people.
-
To dance whenever I can.
-
Not to make decisions for the fear of missing out.
-
To tell people that Singapore is not in China and that English is our first language.
-
To come back alive
What promises will you make before traveling the world?
