no hidden agendas

One another lesson i had also learned during my times of pilgrimages is that it is very important to finance your trip by yourself. Why it is important? Because then you can plan your trip and your time there and so on and you are not depended on someone else rules, regulations etc.

I gained  this type   painful lesson twice when i had limited budget. First i tried to get into Berlin via one mission trip sort of and another time one year later thru attending in DTS school. In both times i realized that those organizers of those things had planned schedules so much that there was left very little free time for those things i had desired to do.

In first case i had grace and favor of Lord for founding way for those things i felt i had to accomplish.
In second case i was there one week before so i could see and realized that it is not worth it to make all those things that are required in that bible school and then maybe have very little time for those things what i really want to do.

  I do not say that it is totally impossible to   findi time for your own desires in those trips organized by someone else  but usually  it can be quite challenging and bringing extra stress with it so that it is not worth it as travels are usually for leisure and rest.

So be wise in planning your future trips and finance by yourself your travelling so that you have not vulnerable for someone else hidden agendas which may not leave so much time for things you really plan to make in your upcoming trip!
