If life is a journey… then it’s not a straight line. There are turns, detours, bumps and backtracks. As with vagabonding, getting lost is part of it.
“People wait all week for Friday. All year for summer. All life for happiness… I travel.” -Unknown
While vagabonding, get lost and embrace it.
Like all human beings, we get lost once in a while so that we can find ourselves again, figuratively and literally. This let’s us find new things that was always there but wouldn’t have found without first getting lost. It should be the same for travel.
Sometimes…
…in order to explore and experience, you need to forget where you are and let go of defined direction.
Vagabond should often intentionally get lost on the way to a certain destination, or even make getting lost the actual point of destination.
It’s one of the best ways to find things and places while traveling that are not in guidebooks or the net.
So go vagabonding, get lost and find new and beautiful things… Then you may even find yourself.

“Getting lost to find your way”…. interesting and very vagabondish.
How else can you find your way if not lost?
