Most times travelling becomes so far fetched because you're always rotating within same place especially when you are working in that state. You're literally stuck in a loop revolving around going to work and returning home lol... This has been my schedule for the past three months and to make it even more interesting, I live inside the hospital so it's just me walking down to the hospital within three minutes, so I also don't get to even take a cab or anything to get there, lol... What a boring life it is😂
Travelling has always been part of the life's aspect that I'm in love with and will love to explore to the fullest. Beyond being educational, it's a great way to relax and cool off.
Ever wondered why some persons would love to hop on bikes when they're having tough times? It's because the feel of the breeze just sends a calming effect to your whole body, more like a natural stimulants that takes you to cloud 9
My most recent travel was in February 9, 2025, that's almost 4months apart, lol. It was the very day I embarked on the journey of reporting to my place of work, Federal Teaching Hospital Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
Picture is Mine
This is the Western part of Nigeria whereas I've been in the Eastern part of Nigeria all through my life, so it was really a journey I looked up to not just for the work getting me there, but also, for the experiences in change of culture, dressing, festivals and languages I will get to see because that would really be the first time I'm coming to the Western part of my country, Nigeria.
I had mixed feelings about the journey because I hate it when travelling deprives me of sleeping well and having to wake up so early just to prepare, maybe ~it's why I've been at home for long though,until I have money for flight, lol.~
I could vividly remember how early my mum woke me up that day, rechecking my bags multiple times just to make sure I'm not forgetting anything and then finally when I waved them the final goodbye as the vehicle left the park, then started my exploration, the journey into unfamiliarity, lol.
Right from the departure, the driver already started playing a Yoruba song, I couldn't make meaning out of it because I don't hear the language but some of them had cool beats so I was like, I've got a big deal ahead of me.
The journey itself was calm and almost uneventful since the driver was the leader of Union transport committee, he was known by the Traffic wardens so he wasn't really disturbed that much on the road, it was a long journey of 9hours but was a good one, lol.
We came to a city along our journey and I discovered they had plantain plantations everywhere and I could literally see the plantains we struggle for in south east everywhere and I guess they will be cheaper too.
Only thing I didn't like about the journey was the way our vehicle was overloaded with waybills... the goods were just too much that we were at the verge of suffocating, lol.
Upon arrival, the buzz of new environment struck me and all that.
Another discovery was the food, lol. I've always been a lover of food and when I discovered that the western world had different type of foods even to the foods we share same names with, I knew I was in for a long ride, but then, that's what travelling exposes you to, today, I eat some of their foods... You get to adapt to many life circumstances and you grow.
In essence, my recent trip for house job was a journey of growth. And my next planned travel, whenever it happens, will be a journey of rest and rediscovery because what's life without constant discoveries, lol
Thanks for reading and have a nice day ahead 👍
