I’ve been home for a few months now, and while I’m happy to be exploring more of New Zealand (posts on Arrowtown and Queenstown to come) it can be hard to keep the travel dream alive while focusing on the more mundane aspects of life – working and saving. After 2.5 years cruising around the world, being constantly stimulated by a variety of new experiences, being still can be quite challenging.
I spend a lot of time browsing finding travel inspiration, to keep my dream alive. My ultimate goal is to work towards a life where I am not bound to any location and free to explore at my own will. That’s my dream. I could pack up right now and travel for another year or so, but eventually I’d reach a point where I’d have to come back home and start again. So, I’m busy laying the foundations now so that I can eventually become a real nomad.
I spend a little too much time browsing websites, mostly travel related. I get lost in stories of adventures, or places to visit. I’ve probably spent more time on the Lonely Planet website than I have any other website, finding myself mentally inserting myself into pictures that grace the homepage.
The other day my friend sent me a cool music video, which features one of the most amazing natural phenomena I’m yet to see: the Northern Lights. I’ve always wanted to visit Norway to see them, but this video actually features them as seen in Swedish Lapland. This video is all focused around the Northern Lights, has a cool soundtrack with it and shows off how advanced Sony smartphones are getting.
If you’re looking for some travel inspiration, this one is definitely worth a watch!
There’s also a making of video so you can soak in the scenery for a bit longer:
What do you use as travel inspiration?
