One of the biggest things I wanted out of this trip was to better learn about myself. What I wanted, what was important to me, what makes me happy and feel fulfilled, and I'm already on my way to figuring all of that out.
What I'm discovering first of all, is that I really like travelling and learning about new places. I find it so exhilarating walking around a new city alone, doing things as I would like to do, and engaging with local attractions and such. It's such a cool experience to get to be in new places and really take them in, alone. This is not to say that I wouldn't have been incredibly stoked if I had had a companion all of this time, but it's an empowering feeling doing it all yourself. Dublin was my first solo experience and now I've just returned from Nottingham which was FABULOUS, I only wish I'd of had one more day to really explore and see what I wanted to see but such is the life when you purchase discount airline tickets. Another thing I've learned is how important animals are to me. I spend my free time watching hundreds of videos of all kinds of animals doing funny things, sad things, loving things, all kinds of things. I realise I always loved animals but being in a position where having one is out of the question has certainly reminded me how important they are to me and how badly I want as many as possible. This also kind of portrays to me that no matter what direction I think I want to head in life, I'll always revert back to owning an Animal Sanctuary. Having a safe place for all kinds of animals that have been through hell and back and just seeing them happy is something I just know will give me a lifetime of happiness. The question is, how the hell do I begin with something like that? I'll be looking more into this later in the year. Lastly, how important my blog is and growing it to be something more. Since I've been living in the hostel, I've noticed all I can think about is how much fun and enjoyment I was getting out of writing and testing new recipes all the time. Eating here is fine and I'm cooking a lot more now but it's not the same, I don't have access to the equipment I had back home, nor the free time or space to really spread out and just play. This is something I'm dying to get back into. Filming videos for my blog, discussing animal rights, finishing my eBook that I'm slowly transferring over to the proper format etc. All of this ties into my blog and how important it is to me. I envision a future where my blog helps me pay for my sanctuary and I can cook and test recipes and play with animals. You know what they say, if there's a will there's a way! HAPPY VEG
