Almost there
I guess this is the first time I’m able to blog properly while still being on the road.My phone is connected to the charger and I have about 19 hours until the departure of my bus(thanks El Ejido bus station for free electricity 
).Did I say bus!? Oh ;D The reason I’m taking a bus instead of hitchhiking is that… it’s really hard to say the honest one(s).I have never thought that it’s possible to cheat on yourself so hardly.What I mean is that it’s only ~400km left to my destination and I could easily get there, by hitchhiking, but I try to think the reasons why should I take a bus instead of hitchhiking, be it not very nice hitchhiking spot here, a little bit complicated route or the fact that I can afford the bus ticket.Yes, theese add up, but I think there is one core reason which decides eyerything – I want to get to Càdiz faster.This is not very important reason, so I try to come up with others like complicated route and etc in order to allow myself to take a bus.Ah, human brain is complicated, but interesting though.
Càdiz
Never I talked about the destination on my trip.Better late than never as it’s said.More than a moth ago a friend of mine dropped a link in my skype.I would have never thought that it could end up like that.The link was to the blogpost called ”The great journey of the life” if I remember correctly.My friend knew I like traveling so he gave me a URL.I don’t have an internet connection now so I can’t quote the post.Anyway, the author hardly ‘criticized’ the lives and traveling of other people hitchhikers included.It could not even be called a reasonable critics, as there weren’t much arguments, just his opinion on how wrong people behave and how they should live.He also seemed arrogant by saying how awesome and superior he is.As I had to go to school soon so I just finished by reading a little less than half of a post and posted a comment making fun of how smart he said he was, but couldn’t write a single sentence without making spelling mistakes.After I got back home from school I finished reading it as well as read several more posts of him.After that I thought maybe this guy is not such an idiot after all 
.So I left another comment, and several more, gave him my email adress.He send me a long email, I sent him one too, and another one and hundred more.Actually before we started our email series I asked if he wanted to meet up, because he seemed to be a really interesting person and after a month I planned to start my journey around the world.I had no destination at that time so it wasn’t important which way to go.So as planned after finishing my highschool I packed my backpack,took hundred euros and started my way to Cádiz, the city in the southern Spain where he lives now.The thing is that we share a similar worldview and have common goal to improve the society.We disagree on some stuff, but thats just the way to filter the ideas even better and I hope to start a common some kind of project.
