Don´t Date A Woman Who Travels

Don’t date a woman who travels if you’re not into someone who has a deep appreciation for life and doesn’t take things for granted. Someone who sees simple movie nights and silent walks in the woods or the beach as a great idea for a date. She is content in the company of somebody who gifts her with a good conversation. She craves not for attention but for wisdom from others.
Time is something she spends well and money is a tool that she knows how to handle. How many times did she have to set a budget and make it work in a country where she doesn’t know a single soul?

Don’t date a woman who travels if you’re not into someone who takes her chances and finds happiness in the immaterial.
She doesn’t cling and hold on tight to the illusory happiness that many have been led to believe position, or money, or fame brings.

She gets to see the world and therefore has conquered herself. The hurdles she had to overcome make her selective of how she spends her time. So she chooses to surround herself with good people…those that she can learn from…the ones who, like her, strive for high ideals. Her solo travels have tested her many times on how to see beyond a crowd of faces in a room full of strangers in an unfamiliar, foreign space.

She likes to read — a habit she must have developed during those long hours of waiting in airports and countless days and nights of travel. She continues to vicariously live through these books so she has lived countless lives.

She possesses a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing which leads her to question…including her own self-doubts. Her exploration has made her realize that the more answers she gets, the more questions arise. She dares to wander into the depths of her thoughts, not scared of where it might take her.

She has learned the value of being uncomfortable because exploring the zone of discomfort is the only way to learn beyond what she already knows.
She is independent in her ideas and opinion and is not intimidated by those who hold different ideas than her own.

Her heart and mind is a book that can take you places through her adventures and how she views the world through her eyes.
She doesn’t fancy a face that hides behind a make up. She wears it bare and simple. Her flaws make her humble and her mistakes make her wise.

Being able to enjoy many things on her own has led her to see others in herself and to let the stronger emotions of kindness and peace reign supreme.

For what use is there to love if we have to look for it outside of ourselves?
She never has to dim her own light so that others can feel comfortable in her presence. But she’s willing, though, to share this light to whoever she connects with. She doesn’t feel the need to feel sorry for taking this immense power in her hands, for taking up space and for expressing herself. She doesn’t feel sorry to let go.

She is aware that like others, she hasn’t completely figured everything out and that’s okay. Perhaps there is really no need to make sense of everything. Perhaps the meaning we seek can’t be found in words or symbols. Perhaps there is no universal meaning…only individual ones…and how each of us choose to lead our lives.

If you choose her and she chooses you, you are welcome to help her secure her anchor…and allow her to set her sail.
