It has been no travelling for me, therefore no action on this blog. The only travel on my mind for the past three four years have been to travel to Lagos, Nigeria. It has filled my heart and it has filled my soul. It still does. It is soon a year ago that I have last been to Lagos. The want to go back burns inside of me!
But on the outside it doesn't show. My husband is now here, and if the want to travel to his home-town is this great for me, it has to be even greater in him. So I stay silent. The knowledge that I do not even know when will be the next time I will travel burns in me as well. The fact that it might be over another year before I see the town that I have fallen in love with makes me want to cry!
Every day that goes by I try to little by little get used to the fact that I will not be travelling this year. Yes, me and a friend are planning a travel at some point, it might still be this year, but that is not what I mean. I know where my heart wants to travel, and it is difficult for me to even imagine going somewhere else.
I used to have this want to go everywhere in the world. The only place that I felt that I really want to go back to has been Vancouver. But since my Vancouver-mum moved away, the want to go back has been very low.
Maybe that is why I love Lagos so much. Because of all the wonderful people I have met, because of my second family that lives there. Maybe it is just so simple.
But it feels anything but simple....
My want to travel still burns strong...
