I just knew I had to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>And you know what? It all worked out okay. In fact, it worked out better than I could have imagined.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post was originally published in 2014. It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content.&nbsp;<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before arriving at that big turning point in my life, I&#8217;d found myself \u201cputting in time\u201d and going through the motions of life, uninspired by what I was was doing, knowing there was something else \u201cout there\u201d for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is for the living. It&#8217;s a journey, and I felt that I&#8217;d lost my way in that journey. I knew the changes ahead involved a giant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/how-responsible-is-a-leap-of-faith\/\">leap of faith<\/a>, and although that leap was scary and full of unknowns, I was also excited by the adventure. <i>The journey.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last eight years and 50 or so countries, I&#8217;ve embraced that journey fully, inspired by the twists and turns (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/brace-yourself-travel-isnt-all-roses-and-lollipops\/\">not always good ones<\/a>) that took me on a meandering path around the world and through life. I learned to be impulsive on the road \u2013 and was rewarded for it repeatedly. <i>(For some examples, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/travel-rewards-impulsive\/\">How Travel Rewards You For Being Impulsive<\/a>).<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a metaphor for travel and life itself, I even wrote a book called <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1500672467\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1500672467&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=www.theprofessionalhobo.com-20&amp;linkId=TUZWVPLH3ZZE7PKW&amp;tag=www.theprofessionalhobo.com-20\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Tales of Trains: Where the Journey is the Destination<\/b><\/a> \u2013 which is now available in both ebook&nbsp;and paperback for you to enjoy! <i>(Hint: order now for Christmas delivery \u2013 it&#8217;s a perfect present for train travel and armchair travel enthusiasts).<\/i><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life Keeps Changing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I gracefully embraced my identity as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/welcome-professional-hobo\/\">The Professional Hobo<\/a>\u201d, I&#8217;ve also recently realized that life keeps changing, and the journey continues. After all these years of nomadic wandering, I discovered Peru earlier this year, and realized that I&#8217;d found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/im-going-back-peru-heres\/\">a place to call home<\/a>&#8230;at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/apprenticeship-update-big-changes-professional-hobo\/\">for now<\/a>. Travel is still in my blood, but the way that I want to travel is evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the way I want to live life is also evolving. I&#8217;ve struggled in recent months, knowing that another change is coming, but not knowing what that change would look like, and ultimately feeling scared of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine that! The woman who sold everything to travel is scared of change, set in her ways (as unconventional as those ways may be), and afraid of unknowns. <i>Yes, it happens to all of us. <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But change is in the air, and my own definitions of travel, and life, and what this journey is all about, is shifting. I&#8217;m still embracing and understanding this change, but rest assured you&#8217;ll be among the first to know when I better understand and am ready to talk about what lays ahead for me.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Live Your Life as a Hero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, I recently discovered this inspiring video, which sent shivers down my spine.
