Don't date me- I'm a Christian travel girl

I'm pretty sure you've read the original article, or a variation, or a translation of it. And unfortunately, the article describes me a little too well.

I really haven't had a long term relationship because of my love of life- being flexible and being open to experiences. I'm the one with the unkempt hair, streaked with brown because of sun damage. I'm the down to earth one who cares more about what you have been through than what possessions you have got. I'm the one who is constantly poor because I have spent the last of my savings on a special airfare or hotel deal. I'm always thinking up a million different ideas and find the travel itch as soon as I get home. I enjoy meeting druggies on trains, kids on buses and the elderly in shops. I like to take more time to do less.

Here are 5 of many reasons not to date me :)
1) I'm not going to spend money looking pretty in dresses and makeup because I value travel, charities more.
2) I'm not going to spend endless hours on the phone, because I'm too busy planning my next adventure
3) I won't be interested in going to sing karoke or shopping, because I'd rather be singing praises instead.
4) My holidays will be spent doing rather than relaxing, and if you can't keep up, I'm not waiting
5) I'm stubborn and would rather get lost and talk to strangers on a bus than pay for a taxi.

Don't date a girl who travels

She’s the one with the messy unkempt hair colored by the sun. Her skin is now far from fair like it once was. Not even sun kissed. It’s burnt with multiple tan lines, wounds and bites here and there.  But for every flaw on her skin, she has an interesting story to tell.

Don't date a girl who travels. She is hard to please. The usual dinner-movie date at the mall will suck the life out of her. Her soul craves for new experiences and adventures. She will be unimpressed with your new car and your expensive watch. She would rather climb a rock or jump out of an airplane than hear you brag about it.

Don’t date a girl who travels because she will bug you to book a flight every time there’s an airline seat sale. She wont party at Republiq. And she will never pay over $100 for Avicii because she knows that one weekend of clubbing is equivalent to one week somewhere far more exciting.

Chances are, she can't hold a steady job. Or she’s probably daydreaming about quitting. She doesn’t want to keep working her ass off for someone else’s dream. She has her own and is working towards it. She is a freelancer. She makes money from designing, writing, photography or something that requires creativity and imagination. Don't waste her time complaining about your boring job. 

Don't date a girl who travels. She might have wasted her college degree and switched careers entirely. She is now a dive instructor or a yoga teacher. She’s not sure when the next paycheck is coming. But she doesn’t work like a robot all day, she goes out and takes what life has to offer and challenges you to do the same.

Don’t date a girl who travels for she has chosen a life of uncertainty.  She doesn’t have a plan or a permanent address. She goes with the flow and follows her heart. She dances to the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t wear a watch. Her days are ruled by the sun and the moon. When the waves are calling, life stops and she will be oblivious to everything else for a moment. But she has learned that the most important thing in life isn’t surfing.

Don’t date a girl who travels as she tends to speak her mind. She will never try to impress your parents or friends. She knows respect, but isn’t afraid to hold a debate about global issues or social responsibility.

She will never need you. She knows how to pitch a tent and screw her own fins without your help. She cooks well and doesn’t need you to pay for her meals. She is too independent and wont care whether you travel with her or not. She will forget to check in with you when she arrives at her destination. She’s busy living in the present. She talks to strangers. She will meet many interesting, like-minded people from around the world who share her passion and dreams. She will be bored with you.

So never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with her. And if you unintentionally fall in love with one, don’t you dare keep her. Let her go.
