To keep it simple: one day I quit my job and decided to spend the next few months dancing salsa and doing handstands at the beach on a self discovery solo trip around central America until the budget is over.
I have a draft idea to explore Puerto Rico (the starting point), Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Cuba, maybe Colombia and others that I might decide to.
Whether this is happening this way, or all changes completely; or if it takes 1 month or 6 months, I don't know - I'll let it go with the flow and see what feels better doing next.
It is my first time...
* Not having a plan
* Traveling alone
* Backpacking
* Couchsurfing and staying at hostels
... and I am so looking forward to all I'll learn about myself and the world with this experience.
What I want from this trip:
* Dance, dance, dance, dance
* Do lots of handstands and yoga stuff around the world
* Live a more minimalist life with less and appreciate more things
* Learn how to stop, breathe, rest, enjoy, appreciate, look, listen
* Learn more about myself and the world itself
* Get to know new amazing and interesting people
* Explore the world and learn the local way of living wherever I go
* Working/volunteering to the communities where I'll be staying when possible
* Challenge my way of thinking, feeling and doing things
* Leave my comfort zone and experience new things
* Write more (blog included)
* Develop and discover new skills
* Maybe learn how to surf and other activities
* Get tanned and speak Spanish everyday :D
The adventure starts today 30th of January 2020: finished my packing where I had to fit all I need for the next few months (the worst part for me, if you know me this is a nightmare). And heading to the airport for my flight to NY (a long transit of 5 days before heading to Puerto Rico) where I'm going to couchsurf for the first time!
Whatever happens after, who knows. Let the adventure begin!
I have an Instagram where I'll be sharing the adventures @littlemaryaroundtheworld from my favourite perspective -> upsidedown and dancing <- follow me if you're curious.
