Why I decided to start my nomadic journey, and why it feels like being naked.

The beginning of October, 2019, that was actually the beginning of the Jewish year, I decided to start a journey. A journey of a nomadic life, a journey of getting to know myself better, my abilities, my emotions, my body, mind and soul.
Basically, you can say that I started a journey of being naked, being authentic as much as I can to what I feel is the right way. I think that all my life I wanted to travel and be a photographer, to be surrounded by nature, by other cultures, by other loving people.
The ability to actually decide to leave my comfort zone was and still is not easy though. It’s going against the “normal rules”, it’s being different from many others, hearing a lot of counter-responses and objections, it’s being afraid of letting myself down, of losing all my money and feel stupid about that, it’s being afraid to say goodbye to everybody from Israel and then that it would be too hard than I thought and I would need to get back “too early” and deal with myself and others’ questions.
So yeah, it’s like getting all of your clothes in the middle of the street.
Being naked is not a bad thing, it’s very so natural, it’s getting rid of layers that you don’t need, it’s showing yourself with your whole glory and diviness, and also vulnerability. This is exactly how I feel like right now. Truly naked. And I feel excited about that, and also anxious, and terrified, and really happy. I’ve already had a lot of ups and downs and it’s only been a week.
I think that it’s amazing that I let myself being open for this, and really curious what my journey will bring me and make me experience.
