Part 06 | My Van-Life
It hasn't been easy, there are so many times that I found myself in the middle of nowhere, alone and scared. There have been ups and downs, but I can say that I am happy with my life. This lifestyle has given me so much freedom and happiness. I feel so lucky to be able to experience New Zealand in this way. This country has given me more than I ever dreamed of and has shaped me into the person I am today, I would not change it for anything in the world. And most importantly, it has shown me that I can find beauty in the most simple things, in nature, in the present moment, and in my soul. That I have to enjoy my company first and feel comfortable in solitude to be happy with the rest of the world.
Travelling has taught me so much about myself, and it has helped me grow in ways that I never thought possible.
Nowadays I'm living my dream, always so grateful for everything that has happened in my life, I continue to chase my dreams. And I know that when I was a little girl who didn't know how to put in words what she wanted to be, when she grew up, it was because there is no title for what I do today and for the person I have become. I stopped blaming my origin, my parents and my situation and I had to make myself responsible and take action to achieve the life I want. I haven't given up on dancing, traveling, writing, being myself and having my own family. And I don't let anything or anyone stop me. I can't wait to see what the future holds, I'm so in love with my future. Who knows where life will take me next?
If you feel like you're not where you're supposed to be, make a change. If you are thinking about taking a big step in your life, go for it. Life is too short to play small. Believe in yourself and never give up! Everything is possible if you set your mind to it. Just take the first step, and the rest will follow.
