Breaking Habits

I feel that at the moment I have lost a lot of my good habits and started forming some really bad, need changing habits. The young explorer in me is wondering what has happened and who the person I now am is. I have always prided myself on having an adventurous spirit and yet here I am, on the verge of going to India, one of the most exciting and interesting places in the world and I'm shaking with fear. I understand that a lot of people would feel that way and its normal, but I'm not a lot of people. How can I have this crazy adventurous spirit and be terrified of leaving my comfortable life here in Switzerland. And there, I believe, lies the problem. It happens to a lot of people I'm sure who get comfortable jobs and settle in to a place, leaving and going somewhere new becomes a massive challenge that people who have no base don't have to face. When you are already a nomad, travelling and living out of a suitcase, going one more place before you stop travelling is just something that happens at every "last stop" you reach.

Once again I am moving out of my comfort zone, going across the world to one of the craziest countries in the world and I am not afraid. I am excited and going to make the most of every minute that I am there.

Back to germany

Today I had a fairly eventful trip to germany, mostly because for the first time I changed a car battery, and what an easy process that is! Well it all started out when I tried to start jerry this morning and no success. Figured that after having run the same battery flat 5 times its understandable that the battery may need replacing! Thankfully I have friends who have friends and I was able to get a new battery at a very good rate, friends and family benefits!

So we took said battery home with me, vehemently promising the man who sold me the battery that I knew exactly how to install it, while at the same time googling the dummies guide to auto repairs! Yes, they have a section on how to install a new battery. Mostly it consists of many complicated sentences to tell you black cable then red cable, remove battery, replace with new battery, red cable then black cable. Bam! Done! One more thing to check off in my quest to be awesome! Car batteries today, who knows what tomorrow holds, maybe I'll ve able to fix my stereo!
