It's been a while since I last wrote here, but now I feel it's time to tell you in all honesty that I have become an addict. Not the bad kind of addict though, no, I realized that I am addicted to traveling, meeting new people and exploring new places.
The addiction started in spring of this year, when I had the best 1.5 weeks of my life during my trip through the Baltics and Poland. In the past few months, I have been on holiday in Ukraine for 2 weeks and went on several weekend trips within Czech Republic, and sometimes even to Poland or Slovakia. Now, my addiction has reached a new "high". From 2 to 9 November I will travel outside of Europe for the second time in my life, as I will visit United Arab Emirates and Oman in that week. I will travel alone and have no real friends yet in those countries, so to be honest I'm a bit frightened about this trip, but as Eleanor Roosevelt once said:
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
A very inspiring quote, that fits in my current mindset perfectly. So at the moment I am still planning everything, so I can't say much about my schedule yet, but for sure I will visit Dubai (the home of the famous Burj Al Arab Hotel), Masqat and make a daytrip to the Omani countryside, which has been my dream ever since I saw a report on tv about Oman a couple of years ago. Not many people may think of Oman as a tourist destination, but believe me: it's an amazing place.
And if you decide not to believe me, that's fine as well. I'm confident that I will convince you in one month from now with the most beautiful pictures. :)
