Hi Quirine,

I used to travel to run away from boredom, work and failed relationships. I’d work and then run away by traveling for a few weeks.  That was my pattern for years and then I realized that I was just running away to avoid dealing with the real issues. Being away did not address the underlying problems and I’d feel the same or more unhappy once I’m back to my normal life. I was not necessarily happier in Europe or wherever I was. It was just temporary distraction to a permanent problem.  When I realized this, I started working on myself.  I still travel often but not for the same reasons I did before.  Once I understood myself better and found inner peace, it has been a lot easier for me to see others point of views and more forgiving of others. It has been very healing.   I hope you find  your inner peace.  “Peace comes from within. Do  not seek it without” Buddha
