I am so excited for you to be taking this journey despite the uncertainties on this planet. There is no precedence for anything anymore. This can be very liberating if you greet others with a sense of care and kindness for yourself and for the other. Most of the places you wish to visit have tightened their borders and so travel is going to be difficult. But your persistence is commendable. Don’t be disheartened with the hardships you may face. If not for these hardships, adventure and discovery would be a distant dream. Even if for some strange reason, you have to stay here much longer than you wish, try to make the most of what you have. Work with what you have. I know of this group of creatures who believe in the oneness of life and environment. They meditate loudly using their voice and believe that by transforming the self, they can affect change around them. They are many in body but one in mind. They would be very curious to hear about your experiences and learn from you. I am sure something fabulous will result from our shared experiences. I Believe what you are doing matters! Godspeed.
