...that leaving for a trip for only two weeks was a touristy as it got. Thing is, very few people can find the right conditions to be traveling all their life , 6 months here and 6 months there.
And truly, I would hate such a life right now.
Anyway, though I went for only two weeks to Costa Rica and Cuba, I can safely say these visits and meetings with locals made me a better person, and more open minded. I was 15 in Arenal, costa rica, as an exchange student in a local's house, for two weeks with school. I was 38 when I went to Cuba or 37. yea, 37. I also stayed 12 days and found it long in the last 24 hours as I caught a bug for that time. And I was 27 when I went two months in india. All solo travels except at 15.
