One of the biggest mistakes I made during my 1st trip abroad has been not to take music with me. Even in those days, at the end of ’92, flights from South Africa to Europe were not cheap. I borrowed an old backpack from a friend. could be ‘ancient’ is a better word to use, since the pack still had a frame on the outside. Nonetheless, budget limitations did not allow me to buy a fancy and light new rucksack. My flight has been scheduled to leave Johannesburg International Airport on 25 November. It meant that I would arrive in England at the same time the season would finally don the cold coat of late autumn. That knowledge motivated me to buy a new sleeping bag. I decided to use my old hiking boots since the little bit of resources I had left I wanted to keep for surviving the European winter. Knowing that my trip would only be for three months I reasoned that I would not need music. If only I had listened to my heart and not my mind. Nonetheless, once again, the shortage of resources did not allow me the luxury of buying a new Walkman.
Not long after the start of my trip, I realized what a mistake I had made to leave my music at home. I coped in the absence of music for six weeks. How I final ed that long still remains a mystery to me. Then, in Gdansk in Poland, I could no longer ignore the need for music. I bought a small portable radio and tape player. Tapes were cheap. I stocked up on a dozen tapes, from U2 and Marillion to the Doors and the Rolling Stones. Even though the quality of the radio’s one speaker has been poor, it sounded like the perfect hi-fidelity sound I had heard up to that point in my life.
I did learn my lesson during that trip. Since then I’ve never traveled in the absence of music. I’ve furthermore promised myself that I never will. Furthermore, today, as opposed to those days, you do not need much space to take music with you whenever you go. With mp3 players, you could take all your preferred albums along. You could even make your own compilations and have your individual soundtrack ready for the journey. So, do not wait, just go.
