… is to trust my intuition and live life to the fullest.

 

I do not believe in staying positive the whole time. I do believe in living emotions. The good and the bad. If something makes me happy, I show it. If something makes me angry I show it.

I believe that emotions show you triggers you have to work on if they are negative. I believe that happiness does not come easy and requires a lot of work.

People who deny negativity make me angry! We’re living in an age, where we are told our goal is to be positive and happy.

Bullshit!

I believe in being authentic.

I believe in speaking the truth in a respectful way.

I do not lie.

If I catch myself lying it shows me that I need to change something in my life. If there is a moment I cannot be honest, the situation has to be changed- not my words.

I want to live my life true to myself and true to others. Even if it means getting angry or sad at some points.

I honestly believe that being honest will guide us to the life we want to live.

… is to get people step out of their comfort zone. To start listening to their heart and learn to live using their intuition.

 

 

TRUST. Trust that life wants to do you good. I mean it’s not all farting rainbows – life can be hard and this cannot be smiled away by looking at inspirational “stay positive” yoga yuppie bullshit.

But I believe if you learn how to change the way you see negative events that happen in your life and start seeing them as a “lesson” life wants you to teach, you are free.

Free to live- free to travel. Free to follow your heart and be happy.

I’m a recent long-term student who has been traveling the world for the past 7 years. My name is Denise, but as I was called Dennis in school, I still turn around when I hear it, haha.

I’ve studied English and Geography in Heidelberg, Germany and though I’ve done that for ten years I finally finished my Masters Degree in teaching. I applied to schools around the world and Brazil was the first to answer. I am currently living in São Paulo to teach English in a private High School. In my free time I travel as much as I can. Though I love my job, I figured that it was time for something new and decided to stop working there by December 2018. I I have no idea where life will take me after that…

Most likely I am the most chaotic traveler you will ever meet. When I travel I do not plan anything in advance, I book the ticket and off I go. I get lost a LOT, but luckily I somehow always end up where I need to be. My memory is like a sieve. If I don’t write things down or record them I am most likely to forget them.

This is why I write. This is why my GoPro has basically grown onto my right arm. This is why I’ve kept a diary for every single travel for the past 7 years.
