When I arrived at the train station, I was surprised that I could not find any free city maps, something I was pretty much relying on to find my way around in that pre-digital age. I had the address of the youth hostel I wanted to stay at, but I did not know how to find it.
“Fake it ’til you make it!”
I manage to incorporate that mentality into my life on a lot of occasions. This happy-go-lucky attitude takes a lot of pressure out of life and travel for me and gives me confidence that everything will turn out alright someway. So, fake it 'til you make it!
“Somehow, we always find our way home”
It was such a simple thing to say, but he said it with such confidence and certainty, that it filled me with a sense of calm and awe at the same time. And it has stuck with me ever since.
