As someone who spends way too much time in my flat in London I am always thinking about going away, especially now I have some extra Steem! The trouble is that after years living in the city it is easy to get set in your ways and become fearful of change.
Last year I went to The Gambia in West Africa with a friend, it was pretty crazy, so crazy that I left after four days. A few months later I booked a ticket for myself to Koh Samui in Thailand, a friend was there and I thought it would be a perfect getaway however when it came down to it I couldn't face the huge journey which involved changing flights in Kuala Lumpar etc, so I bottled it and didn't go. I was pretty depressed about spending £700 on a ticket that I didn't use but soon forgot about it and resumed my predictable existence in West London.
There was a short trip to Tenerife with my buddy who spent most of his time doing coke and frequenting strip clubs so it wasn't exactly a spiritual journey and more like fear and loathing in Playa de las Americas.
As winter started to draw in towards the end of last year I started to get the bug to leave again, I saw that you can get a direct flight to Goa for relatively cheap. I spoke about it to my friends and they all persuaded me to go, so I booked it for Jan. Then suddenly I started to have my doubts, would I get ill? Would I get bored? What if what if....
I wondered if I had made another mistake and wasted another £700 on tickets etc, it would be embarrassing to do that again, most of my friends don't have money to throw away like this and as the date drew nearer I would have long discussions about the pro's and cons of such a trip. One friend insisted on driving me to the airport and made sure that I got on the plane and by some miracle I actually did.
After a 9 hour flight and an hour in a taxi I am at the beach here in Goa and writing my first proper post for a while..
Sitting on the beach while posting to Steemit. I think you have achieved what many of us dream of! Lol
Living the dream my man, living the dream.
Enjoy it! :)

Yep..I'm enjoying it now!
I am sorry about the problems you are experiencing right now ,,, hopefully enjoy the music and also enjoy the beauty of the beach galaunya can be lost ... if I usually to get rid of the mess, I go to the beach and sound as big as possible so that my problems will naturally go out in line with out my voice.
I'm glad you got out of your slump!
I definitely know what it's like to fall victim to living in the city. I lived in the "city" here, although it can hardly be called that, for most of my adult life.
I had been talking about getting out of there for the better part of 5 years before I finally did this past August. Since leaving I have found myself much more willing to go out and do things I previously hesitated about.
Glad to see you got to Goa. Cheers!
Starting to get that feeling
I also often experience turmoil ... sometimes I think this is reality in life. sometimes like and sorrow mood ,,, all those things will we experience ... my habits if I'm more upset I like to watch funny videos, because for me by watching funny videos can relieve stress or amusing .... keep the spirit and strive to positive thinking @bleepcoin.
I after read your post, i do not know what i have to say @bleepcoin. Most of us were with this condition. If i may suggest, just forget it and lets it pass without remember again and again. Now you to think positive for positive results. May you better @bleepcoin.

Yes I have become a bit of more nervous as of late, wasn't always like this..I used to live with little regard of the consequences, as long as I had fun..guess I am taking after my late mother who was always worrying. My Dad was the opposite so maybe there is some conflict unresolved? Thanks for the reality check
