My first solo trip.

My trip has almost come to its end. While i sit at the airport sipping on a cup of coffee and ready for my 9hour flight to Doha, i cant help but reminisce so many moments from the past week.
Travelling alone was the essence of this trip and i am glad i chose Bali as the destination. From the culture, to their unique version of Hinduism, to the smiling and welcoming faces, to the fantastic food n shopping n beaches... It was all in all a perfect holiday.
Realization of what i have gained will only dawn on me later on when im back in the comfort of my home...as of now the things i have clearly learnt are letting go of alot of inhibitions that i didnt even know existed, allowing myself to just be, releasing the need for company, realizing that my own company is an absolute pleasure.
I spent quality time with myself...from time on the beach, to exploring new streets n areas, to massages and romantic lunches n dinners for one. I met so many wonderful travellers from different parts of the world, so friendly and chatty making every interaction memorable.
I learnt that people of iran feel exotic in Bali, which was so fascinating. The aussies and indonesians were so excited to meet a rare breed like myself and had so much to chat about.
I also learnt that travellers r the most wonderful people to have a conversation with, from their open mindedness to their perspective on life.
I am happy. Happy that i am going back to where home is, to my family, to where my roots r, where my friends and sense of belonging is. Happy that this beautiful holiday has added its essense to my life. Happy that God n my angels protected me and made sure everything went smoothly all thro out. Im just happy.
Thank you Bali for all the love! I intend to come back ... If life allows it...
For the rest of you, travel alone atleast once in your life...and fall in love...with yourself and with life. 💗
See yall in Dubai soon inshallah!
