Week 1: The Beginning

What a month this last December was! I had never been invited to so many “leaving parties” in all my life. Some decided to explore South America for 6 months, some other left to discover wild Australia, someone else chose South-East Asia as the destination for a new chapter of their life. And I started to ask myself lots of questions. What about me then?  What am I doing? Am I making the most of my life or am I hiding behind my laziness? Should I leave as well?

I started dreaming about packing my bag and head to some exotic Country, being well aware that I would not do it for real, not for now at least. I have been travelling a lot in the past years, and I do not think it’s the right moment to interrupt everything I’ve been trying to build so far, to go into some far away adventure. I want the adventure though. But how?

Why am I so fascinated by those experiences my friends decided to undertake? What am I missing in my life? It’s the discovery, the challenge, the idea that those experiences will enrich their souls and help them to get to know themselves better. And I do need all of this right now. There is no need to reach the other side of the world to spice my life up a little. Therefore here I am, writing these words and opening this blog. I dare myself to succeed in my new year’s resolution. I will challenge myself every week, to try something new, something I have never experienced before. Everything is allowed: trips, places, activities, ethnic cuisines, etc.

A year is made by fiftytwo weeks. This year I will try to undertake fiftytwo different experiences, fiftytwo  challenges, fiftytwo adventures and discover  fiftytwo new, unexperienced shades of my life.
