19 days after the previous post…. I suppose that has to increase a lot if I want to do  blog writing as part of my job 😉

Thing is that until Friday morning not much has changed.

I went for more walks for about a week before I returned to my old habit with TV and being lazy. I started to play online games which didn’t help so much to build a future plan.

But then Wednesday, 24th January 2018, came along and I cancelled the contract for my flat. I can’t really tell why I made the decision that day or what provoked it. I just woke up and felt I had to do something. Of course, I was really scared because I still didn’t have a plan what to do next but after I sent the email to my landlord, it just felt right… like a start was made. In my mind I have this picture from adventure movies where the adventurer enters the old Maya temple, unlocks the door and the thousand year old mechanics start to wake up and come to life….that’s how it feels 🙂

Luckily it took only two more days before I saw the next step:

Again, I woke up in the morning and thought, all I want to do is cycling and I don’t want to travel far, far away…..so why don’t just cycle through Germany and visit all 16 federal states? Actually, this should have been so obvious (at least the cycling part) that it almost hurts ;-). But sometimes you’re looking everywhere but really, really close to the heart.

I’m still afraid that something else will pop into my mind but in this case just everything matches, heart and mind are aligned and this idea includes everything I want to do:

• cycling (of course)
• living a minimalistic lifestyle
• being outside and exercise
• seeing something new every day (if I want)
• meeting new people, making new experiences
• finally getting to know more of my country
• visiting friends all over the place 🙂
• travel without a huge ecological footprint
• try out different places to stay overnight (AirBnb, hostels, hotels, friends‘ places, special stuff like tiny houses, tree houses,….)
• taking lots of interesting pictures
• maybe even find a place where I want to move next

I’m really, really excited which also mixes with fear of the unknown sometimes – but now all the work can start 🙂
