Change

During a trip, one often thinks they have to find themselves. But what does that actually mean? For me, it is being aware of one's own weaknesses.

This works well while traveling because people are different. Many of our weaknesses are things we have acquired due to our environment and mentality. When confronted with a different kind of people, we learn to question whether we could handle things differently.

I think this awareness alone is enough in most cases. There is no need to try to change forcefully. If we take our weaknesses with humor and know what we are subjecting ourselves or others to, we are certainly a more pleasant companion!

If we allow time to pass, the bad habits may even begin to bother us and we stop doing them. Maybe. We'll see.
