Today marks the 100th day of travelling for Kevin and I! There have been highs and there have definitely been lows. Who ever said travelling (especially with some one) was easy? 100 days of travelling means enduring over 3 months of grungy hostels, infinite bug bites, getting scammed, and doing all-nighters in trains, buses and airports. But, it does make the beautiful sunsets, remarkable people you meet, and everlasting memories that much sweeter.
So, how do we prevent ourselves from wringing each other’s necks? Here’s goes my list of cheesy one-liners…but I really do believe in them.
1. Be able to laugh at each other’s and your own mistakes.
2. Be flexible – with your travel plans and with each other.
3. Don’t worry so much – it’ll all work out.
4. Don’t be afraid to break the rules a little bit.
5. It really is about the journey, not the destination. Sounds cliché, but it’s true.
(Of course when I asked Kevin what he thought, he bluntly stated that it’s important to spend time away from each other. That's my Prince Charming).
In China, when a baby turns 100 days, it’s a big celebration because it’s supposed to represent the wish that the baby will live 100 years. It’s a big family affair that involves lots of food. In a way, it’s similar to what my wishes are for us in the future. A life where we can love, travel, and eat good food together for many years to come. After all, isn’t that what life is all about?
