If you don't go far, you'll be old 2

Chapter 14 Back to the origin
After leaving Zambia, I spent a few weeks in a small hotel on the Atlantic coast of Namibia. I threw myself in bed for the end of the world, Christmas, and New Years without feeling dull. I went naked in the sea in the morning and conceived at night. Possibilities to go to South Africa.

In my travel plan, South Africa is the last stop of my trip to Africa. After visiting South Africa, I will fly home directly. When I think of it, I am very excited.I tried to conceive all the wonderful things about going to South Africa.However, South Africa is a very difficult country to obtain a visa, and the air tickets to South Africa are also very expensive. Some people even said that girls have a high chance of being raped in South Africa.All kinds of terrible elements combined, and I was retreating in my heart. If I can't complete the trip to South Africa, it means that the whole trip to Africa has failed. I feel like crying.What should I do?

When I got the South African visa, the courageous gene in my blood popped out again. I have to admit that the more than one year of travel has tempered my guts like chicken blood. One tendon rushed forward.I was provoking silently in my heart: What should come will come, so just let the horse come!
Although I am full of pride in my bones, I don't know how South Africa will welcome me.When I got on the bus to the airport, the cold feeling of going to a strange place came up again.For a moment, I suddenly found that I seemed to have walked a long, long time, and I wonder if I can go back?I took out my passport, which was stamped with visas from more than 20 countries. I recalled the visa scenes one by one, and felt that all this was like a dream.In my dream, I was like an innocent child, weaving my own fairy tales and filling them with all the good things.

Waking up from the dream, I crawled out of the fairy tale and continued on the road.

In the past two years or so, I have been to more than 20 countries. I have seen the world in various poses and with different expressions, listened to the joys, sorrows and sorrows of countless people, and understood the appeals of many people. I understand this world, and the more I walk, the more I see my own frivolity and anxiety, and the more I walk, the more I become quiet.When I look back at the way home, I think that I have found a cure for my confusion, regained the energy that fills my life with passion, and found the power to make my wishes come true. These are the long trips The biggest bonus of a long trip.

On the 600th day of the trip, on the way to continue walking, I write these words to thank those who have walked with me and helped me in the past two years.
