This really hit home with me, especially with my current life situation. I recently returned home from backpacking for nine months in 25 different countries and now I have to figure out what to do with my life. It’s been a struggle, but my anchors have been there.

My anchors have always been my family and friends. They have been there for me through everything and were there for me when I decided to leave a legal career and travel. They have always pushed me to be the best I could be. I also totally agree with you about how traveling makes you stronger. Even though I’m struggling right now, I know something will break and it will all be okay. 🙂

I didn’t know the anchor was a historical symbol of hope — I love that! Thanks for sharing, Ash 🙂

This post resonated with me so much and in so many different ways. I have gotten A LOT of why would you ever travel alone questions and until you do it and feel the sense of accomplishment you will never understand! Love the be your own anchor, especially since historically the anchor is a symbol of hope! You have hope in yourself that you are going to make it where you need to be and enjoy the journey there 🙂

Look forward to more Thailand posts, hoping to make it there next!

Lovely post! It is very humbling yet grand to find yourself in a new place, time and culture. There have been so many moments that I have been anxious about how things will turn out. I’ve found that embracing the chaos and rolling with the punches are what keep us unique. I love your honesty and grit. Thanks for reminding us all to be our own anchor.
