So this is the beginning of the end
We're here in Bangkok in a tiny little $35 hotel
As we round the last corner
of our
trip
journey, yeah
Exploration, but it's definitely been a journey yeah
Some kind of weird way
It's kind of sad because it's like the reality that word coming back to Canada and no no there's just a lot of mixed feelings
And a lot of reflection yeah
and in ten days
We are going to be getting on a plane
And going back to Western culture
530 in the mornings really early to be watching action movies my hair grew long these last six months, it's been a crazy time
I don't want to go home
So we've been through so much and in every place, we've stopped every country. We've been to
There's been something that we've taken from it, which has been really incredible, and that's something that
It's really special about all of these different things. I've never been to any of these kinds of places and I
Couldn't see myself a year ago doing this
five years ago
No, it's it
But it's about learning to open yourself up to that energy and and and let it help you on your path
This whole journey
When we decided that there is more to life, so here. We are
Sitting at a desk sitting in traffic working our jobs and
Following a blueprint to life that it's crazy that way
Everybody is telling you is the blueprint success or that which equals happiness
And we've sold everything we own and what we kept fit in a van
We ripped it up, and we threw it under van window as we left
The truth the world
There we go
And this like search for something we don't even know if and we can't say that like oh we're coming back to Canada and we're
Completely different people even though we feel much different than we were when we left, but it's not like we figured it all out
Oh have like a big idea. That's it. This is our our journey our purpose or going this way
Maybe the best thing is to never have them figure it out because you just allow yourself to be open to
Whatever life will give you and you allow yourself just to go with the flow with that
It's it's been quite a journey
Because we've been digging
Actively digging at ourselves inside I see us doing all this and I you know
Me of a year ago would be asking. What's the point of all this and I?
Don't know if we've got that all figured out yet
But I do know that it is creating a lot of space inside of us to learn more about other people
And then see our reflection in them
So I don't know I'm not really sure I know that
It comes with a sense of calm
Like everything's gonna be okay
We're about to board our first flight
We're flying through Tokyo
And then off to being vancouver and then off to Calgary where my mom is currently at
I guess that's considered home
That's the thing that's like when we come back, it's just a continued journey for us because at the moment all we have
Materialistically in Canada is a van with some things so we're going to hop in that van and continue on through
North America, which is gonna be really exciting!
So for two dollars in savonia you get a meal or
You can get a haircut
Apparently someone decided there are real needs to get their hair trimmed
Two dollars let's hope he doesn't come out bald
The one that was with us was a kitten
I don't know what to do
I order coffee
They give me some rice snacks
I order a water
And everything is single use plastic
Like seven hour flight trying to get some worked done, but literally an adjustment reducing waste airlines need to rethink
the way they provide people With their sustenance
This is madness
Bonjour! we made it to Vancouver
Feeling
Like I don't know what I was just saying to mark. I feel like the whole ground underneath me is spinning
We're so just confused in our bodies in our
Mental state I guess you got television behind you it was weird to see TVs on
And I think that's one of the most beautiful things in realizations that we've come to is that
You know when you it's that fear of missing out
I find a lot of people have where you know they feel like well
You know if I if I go here for a year or something. I'm gonna miss out what I'm gonna
Not do this and everyone's gonna be here, and I'm gonna be there, and I think when you realize that every single person
cares about their future their life
You know if you worry about what other people?
Think of you if you worry about what people will talk about you like yeah, they may see something for a couple of minutes
But in the end the day everyone goes home and worries, but their problems about how they're gonna make their money
How they're gonna do this or not?
And and if you pack your bags and just leave and that's what you're so afraid of and going to see the world you're going
To find yourself on a journey or whatever it might be
You'll just be the person that went and did that for a while. I think that's what we
Friends and truck we're just the people that were less whole bunch of their stuff in there
Where in the world all right and life goes on for everyone family, and it's just your choice
How you want your life to go?
It's just a decision and once you make it the rest of the pieces all fall into place
Is our faith has been restored in
releasing ourselves to light to the unknown
Realizing that no matter what?
We're gonna just keep going and find a way, and if you set your mind to that
anything's possible I
Think the one lesson. We've learned so far is that if we just completely open ourselves up to
The fact that anything and everything can happen it just allows you to be
Completely vulnerable in the universe and at the same time enjoy it
But you don't have to travel
It's about the willingness to be open to living your life differently than
Society tells you has to be the way you live
So the three of us are back together at last
We miss this little guy so much, so you know we're going to Calgary right now
It's where my mom is that we're gonna see Prince and it's gonna be wonderful. It's about how you feel about yourself inside
It's not about your physical surroundings
I don't like the commercial north american wasteful culture any more than I did before
But I think I've come to realize I'm not gonna let it affect me
inside the way it used to
so were about to surprise Prince
he gets really excited when we don't see him for even a week
That moment when we see Prince is gonna be like Oh incredible
Missed him so much. I can't even I cannot wait my mom's bring about right now
It's just gonna be kind of like a symbol coming full circle yeah
maybe we're just weird, just weird, maybe we'll just treat our dog like a child
It's funny that a dog can have that kind of emotional
absence in your life
I know this truly is just a
Continuation this is the end of us doing Diaries?
We thank you all so much for
Connecting to us
And this journey that we began six months ago is
Continuing on where we're driving somewhere new and we're gonna see new places
We're gonna meet new people and we're going to create new experiences every day, and I think that's what?
Motivated us and inspired us to do this and from the start
It's just a very tiny little beginning like I don't feel any different
But I feel like I'm on a different path
That's what's I don't know so magical about it and that?
were going to spend the next next 30 years together
Walking that path
Being open flowing with the river
Letting life and magic and good and bad all inspire us
to be better each day and to let
Ourselves make the world around us a better place
so that in change
the world can be a better place because we decided to sell our shit get in the van and
just
Just go
Thank you for being here with us through this whole journey and
We hope that you stick around because the journey continues for us, and you might do more Diaries later. Oh, no you know
Again, we'd go with the flow and what feels right just happen
give and you shall receive
Receive. Law Of the Universe, the more you give and the more you will receive
