Travelling is an inspiration in itself.
It is the crux of our very being. Yes, evolution set in and we organized ourselves into colonies and settlements, but our spirits remained nomadic. We are all hippies at heart, constantly itching for new experiences, exploring new landscapes, aching for the moments which take our breath away.
All of us have at some point, looked for a sign from the universe. A sign to tell us that she is the one, a sign to let us know that we’d get through a difficult phase, a sign to tell us that the exams will pass without a glitch, a sign from the universe that everything will go as planned. Today, my friend, if you are looking for a sign that will prompt you to pack your bag and leave, I will give you not one, not two, but 31 of them!
