What is travelling to you?

travelling has a variety of definition. Every person that has left and truly traveled comes up with their own meaning of the word. I believe to travel means immersing yourself in a culture and the place your in. Really feeling how th local people live and go about their daily lives. Travelling is not a vacation. Everyday you are trying new things and exploring in different places. You can go from sleeping in a bed in your mates place to a floor or bench in train station in a days time. That's what creates those expereinces which stick with you forever. So much is learned from each and every day. I find myself more excited to wake up each day as there are always new expereinces created by the activities I do or the people I am meeting along the way.
Throughout the last few weeks we have came down the coast to do the great ocean walk. Along the way sleeping in our tents every night mainly finding free spots to pitch our tent and then moving along again the following day. Before stopping at Melbourne we got to do a overnight hike(37km) in wilsons promontory and got to walk along some of the most beautiful secluded beaches I have seen! After that we got a days break then started the six day 100 km journey of the great ocean walk. We had a diverse group including an Australian, German and Italian. Great times were had along the way and friendships were strengthened but mainly each and every one of us got to achieve our own personal goals that were made from the start. The feeling of accomplishment at the end is
Indiscribable.
After a few days in Melbourne Kaitlin and I have managed to find ourselves in really cool town called torquay. We got work in Kathmandu store only 20 minutes away. Everything just seems to be working out great and we are already in the process of planning our next big adventure. Super stoked for what the next few months has in store :)
