Hi, my name is Eva and I have no idea how to start this blog. So I’ll just dive right in and tell you, why I’m even doing this.

At the age of 20, I experienced something that, how dramatic it may sound, changed my life. More importantly, it changed me. At some point, I admitted to myself, that I need help. It was only when I called a therapist that I realized, how much I needed it. So I went to sessions weekly. I got better. End of story? No, it’s only getting started.

After a few month I felt better. But I couldn’t let go of what happened. No matter how hard I tried to get over it, it kept following me. So I ran. Not quite literally. Actually I flew. For a long time I have thought about solo travelling and it felt like the perfect moment to get some space, some distance. Many people told me how crazy I was, to travel to México alone, without a plan. But I booked a ticket to Cancun anyway. I only had my flight and a room for a few days, just to settle in. From then on, the adventure started.

This was in March 2022. Since, a lot of people on my travels and at home asked me for advice: On destinations,  hostels, safety, public transport and a lot more. Quite a few told me to make a Vlog or a Blog. Better late than never, I decided to do so and here we are now!

Travelling turned out to be my therapy. I learnt, that it helps to talk about problems and sharing them can take off a lot of weight of oneself. Also, hearing about others who struggle, may help them to face their problems and work on them. So I hope, I can help. Even if it’s only a little bit. And if I’m only writing these lines to myself, they at least help me process. I consider that a win anyway.

So long

Eva
