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!:)

FREEDOM. Core value for me. And such a little tricky word for so many, 'cause it's easy to misinterpret its meaning. It's also "funny" to think about the freedom now when most of the world is in quarantine due to the pandemic...
So what exactly is the freedom? Simply said: freedom is to be whatever the hell who you are, where you are, at any given moment. No matter the trends, mainstream things, social rules, all those "musts/do's and don'ts". That means: to love man or woman (yes no matter your own gender), to be vegan or carnivore, to love dogs or snakes, to lift weights or do yoga, to choose your own religion or be atheist, to love luxury or not to care about branded things, to work from home or surrounded by dozens of co-workers, to have kids or cats, to love silence or loud music... Or anything between those defined things. Because it just feels right, not because you care about what other people will say or how they will see your choice. It means to hear that little wise voice inside of you (also called intuition) that we so successfully learned to shut down, and to follow its guidance. To be the grandest, the biggest, the strongest, the best you can be, because that's how you serve the world.
Most people associate freedom with money and they are so wrong. Yes more money can give you the freedom to enhance and up-level your life, but only if you already have some direction and wholesome personality (or at least you work on it). It will never be enough to compensate the lack of the same. It's not about the external material things, it's about the felling that certain things awake in us.
Preferring freedom doesn't mean being irresponsible or immature. Rebellious yes, in a certain way, but only if your life choices don't hurt physically/emotionally others (to be clear: their true self not their ego!). When you accept to be all that you are, you instantly accept other people exactly the way they are. They don't bug you, they don't bother you, you're cool with them no matter how different they are...
Personally I could speak/write for days about freedom and its meaning, but you also came here to read some inspiring quotes. So let yourself be inspired by the words you'll see below, and feel the new level of freedom!
SLOBODA. Vrednost koju cenim iznad svega. I pomalo zeznuta rec, zato sto je lako pobrkati tj. pogresno protumaciti njeno znacenje. Takodje je "zabavno" razmisljati o slobodi sad kada je vecina sveta u karantinu zbog pandemije...
Pa sta je zapravo sloboda? Jednostavno receno: sloboda je biti sve sto jesi, tu gde jesi, u svakom trenutku. Bez obzira na trendove, mejnstrim stvari, socijalna pravila, sva ona "smeti/morati i ne smeti". To znaci: voleti muskarce ili zene (da, bez obzira na vas licni pol), biti vegetarijanac ili "carnivore" (tj. jesti samo meso), voleti pse ili zmije, dizati tegove ili raditi jogu, izabrati religiju ili biti ateist, voleti luksuz ili ne mariti za brendirane stvari, raditi od kuce ili biti okruzen desetinama saradnika, imati decu ili macke, voleti tisinu ili glasnu muziku… Ili bilo sta izmedju ovih definisanih stvari. Zato sto je osecaj ispravan, ne zato sto vas je briga sta ce drugi reci ili kako ce videti vas izbor. Znaci cuti onaj mali mudri glas u nama (takodje zvan intuicija) koji smo uspesno naucili da zakopavamo, i da pratimo njegove direkcije. Znaci biti najgrandiozniji, najveci, najsnazniji, najbolji sto mozemo biti, jer tako sluzimo ovom svetu.
Vecina ljudi asocira slobodu sa novcem, i skroz grese. Da, vise novca vam moze dati slobodu da unapredite i upotpunite svoj zivot, ali samo kada vec imate neki pravac i kada ste celovita osoba (ili barem radite na tome). Ali novac nikada nece biti dovoljan da kompenzuje nedostatak istih. Zato sto se ne radi o spoljasnjim materijalnim stvarima, radi se o osecaju koji te stvari bude u nama...
Preferirati slobodu ne znaci biti neodgovoran ili nezreo. Buntovnik mozda, u odredjenom smislu, ali samo ako vas zivotni izbor ne povredjuje druge fizicki ili emotivno (da rascistimo: njihovu istinu a ne ego). Kada prihvatite da budete sve sto jeste, momentalno prihvatate i druge ljude takvi kakvi jesu. Ne smaraju vas, ne smetaju vam, prosto ste ok sa svima ma koliko drugaciji bili…
Ja bih licno mogla danima da pricam i pisem na temu slobode, ali vi ste ovde dosli i da procitate neke inspirativne citate, za ne? Tako da vas sada pustam da se inspirisete recima u nastavku, i da osetite novi nivo slobode u svom zivotu!
