  1. We are always in a state of flux unless we are unconscious or dead. Sometimes it's a matter of evolving more deeply into our true nature (not exactly "changing") and sometimes it's just that events & circumstances force us out of our comfort zone, which then lets us see ourselves from a different perspective. Other times we realize we were wrong about who we thought we actually were, and we accept it and see ourselves more clearly. Not that we should ever be too self-centered, but one thing I learned early on in my travels is that I learn a lot about myself when I travel, not just about other people & places.

    1. You are right, bro. If I changed nothing I'd even be scared... The biggest challenge when traveling is what you find out about yourself, at the same time is what makes it irresistible ;)
