Hi Amy,
What an adventure! If I were you, I’d be asking myself if I would spend a lifetime saying “what if” if you didn’t go. Maybe you can do a test run with your new love, without completely cutting ties with your home country?

Thanks for this post. I am really struggling now because I am currently traveling and have fallen hard for a local half way across the world. I want to plant roots somewhere; the problem is not that I want to continue to travel. I just don’t know if I want to take the risk of leaving my home country to pursue a romance with someone that I’ve only known for a very short period of time. This is truly one of the most difficult situations I’ve ever been faced with, but also one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had.

Exactly having a loving relationship with yourself, its not arrogance, its self love and respect. I didn’t see the pain coming at all that my darling has caused me, totally surprise like the walls caved in by their promiscuous secrets, making me even doubt that their feelings for me were actually real or just a momentary act of neediness. I suppose it doesn’t matter now, its no longer like the road so I guess we’ll just have be settle with being set adrift on memory bliss….

PGirl – That’s the ticket! I made a promise to love myself before allowing myself to love anybody else. Being kind to myself is something I’m not very good at….but I’ll get there! As will you. It’s a journey for all of us.

Thanks for replying – so glad to see I’m not walking the ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ alone. I just tell myself they didn’t deserve my love. Anyone who deserved it wouldn’t do that you and reject you. causing you so much pain. I hope someday someone better will love my sweet heart just as much as I will love them. Life can be quite cruel in these situations but maybe this is ‘Living’. I just need someone better to come into my world but now I need to take care of myself and my own needs for once and hopefully my heart will slowly start to heal….

Peace

PGirl – Thank you for sharing….and your story resonates very much with me. Things didn’t end up working out with my Swedish Squeeze in this post – during a time of absence, he ended up with another lover and got her pregnant.
Now – three years later, I’m nursing yet another broken heart and the ending of a 2-year relationship. One that taught me so very much, but also involved a tremendous amount of pain (both during and after).
But like you said; sometimes there are lessons to be learned in this pain. Hang in there….

Ah nice read, nice to have someone to relate to. I’m going through the worst heartbreak I’ve ever had I think. I travelled with someone and couldn’t help but get emotional attached to someone I have never felt so powerfully connected to – was so happy and excited, but was on the other hand trying not to fall in love with them but I couldn’t help how I felt. Of course I had to go home and they continued travelling, telling me they missed me and loved me too. This kept up for 2 years of me missing them terribly as I hadn’t met anyone else quite like them. Finally I had the opportunity to go visit them but was faced with the fact that they had continued seeing other people and now had a new lover. Of course, they had changed too being a home environment is totally different to life on the road. This was pretty heart shattering and realised that I had now lost them and things were never to be the same again. I want to be mature and forgive them but I think its probably best I don’t see them again. A broken heart is like nursing a broken arm…its raw and so painful at first but you have to allow time to let it heal and endure the pain. Takes time and then maybe one day we could be friends again, but right now as much as they were someone I have loved the dearest in my life so far – maybe they just came in to teach me something, but slowly I have to convince myself….that is was just not meant to be in this lifetime.

For me romance, seduction and sex are the most important aspects of traveling. I love nothing more than to have romantic and sexual adventures with exotic and beautiful women from all over the world.

I never lie to a woman by telling her that I am looking for a partner for lifetime. I always say the truth and make it clear from the beginning, that our relationship won’t last forever. I really enjoy those mini Relationships and I keep them in my memory till I die. But sometimes it is very hard to leave a girl because you have to decide between your passion, which is traveling and experiencing new adventures and a stupid little feeling called love.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your thoughtful response! A traveling lifestyle certainly puts more emphasis on the current moment; an indeed, even a day with somebody you love is a day well spent.
This particular romance carried on through to a reunion in Sweden, and a bright future of house-sitting together; but it unraveled while we I was away on the Ultimate Train Challenge, and he was….well, let’s just say he was otherwise occupied. 😉
