Not long ago, I read a local article about a Lithuanian family that sold flat, cars, things, and all that was unnecessary and bought a yacht for a trip around the world. And they are still traveling in the winds of dreams. Free. And such stores I have heard not one.
I remember this story all the time because I clearly understand how much determination and strength are needed to do so. Being completely free is a difficult concept to imagine. Life bounds us by chains on behalf of things, work, friends, children, responsibilities, duties, and much more. I often think that we do not even belong to ourselves and live in a matrix according to a set algorithm.
After a month of intensive work, I would like to leave again. Although for a week. Somewhere. Of course, this is not the same as sailing a yacht around the world, but I would want to escape from everything and give myself to complete obscurity. At least create the illusion and be a free man for a few days.
However, it will not happen now I have taken too many new projects that need to be finished. So, responsibilities really have bound us.

Would you want to travel around the world?

No

I wouldn’t travel around the world now – America is a laughingstock around the world and deservedly so due to no longer setting the standard as the world leader.
But the world consists not only of America. Are you from the US?
I’m in America. Americans are targets in other countries now.
