I am on my first solo trip of my life. I chose Kota Kinabalu in Eastern Malaysia to be the place where I would continue to challenge myself. It has been two days and I have been having a great time. But here's the thing. I just find it unbelievable that all I have to do is think of which place I am going to visit next. There is nobody waiting for me. No email waiting for a response (yeah, one), no work waiting to be done, nothing to worry. I don't remember the last time I experienced this. At the moment, I am sitting by the sea and I am completely alone- there are a few birds, butterflies and a gentle breeze for company. And lots and lots of healing time for my mind.
