One thing's for sure: COVID-19 made us to miss travel more than ever before. I personally missed traveling more than socializing. I missed free movement (just as much as free breathing without the face mask), and not being limited to one place/municipality/state/country.
I studied tourism, and worked as a travel guide. Traveling is a part of my life, it'll always be. It is my kind of a psychotherapy- nothing makes me more inspired and refreshed than the physical change of my everyday surrounding. Even one day spent somewhere else can be enough when I feel stuck in a rut. Seaside, mountains, lake, countryside, spas, literally any place can make me feel alive again. And I prefer giving money for traveling than buying material stuff, it's the investment that always pays off. That's why I have no idea why I waited so long to share inspiring travel quotes that so easily spark wanderlust and make us want to pack our luggage immediately! Read them below, then tell me I'm wrong!:)
Jedno je sigurno: COVID-19 je ucinio da nam nedostaju putovanja vise nego ikada. Meni su licno putovanja nedostajala vise nego socijalizovanje. Nedostajalo mi je slobodno kretanje (koliko i slobodno disanje bez zastitne maske), i to da nisi ogranicen na jedno mesto/opstinu/drzavu.
Ja sam studirala turizam, i radila kao turisticki vodic. Putovanja su deo mog zivota, uvek su bila, uvek ce biti. To je moja vrsta psihoterapije- nista me ne inspirise i osvezi vise nego fizicka promena okruzenja. Nekad je dovoljno da pobegnem negde na jedan dan, ako osecam "kao da tapkam u jednom mestu". More, planine, jezero, selo, drugi grad, banja, bukvalno bilo koje mesto moze da me ponovo ozivi. I iskreno vise volim da dam pare na putovanja nego na materijalne stvari, ta investicija se uvek vraca. Zato mi uopste nije jasno zasto sam toliko cekala da podelim inspirativne citate koji olako probude zelju za putovanjim i nateraju vas da odmah pozelite da spakujete kofer! Procitajte u nastavku pa mi slobodno recite da nisam u pravu!:)
