I had the most incredible adventure when I went to Kenya. It forever changed me. I always loved to travel but after this experience an insatiable passion was released inside me. I am always anxious to go somewhere and explore. Whether it is a new neighborhood, a festival across the state or a totally new place. It doesn't matter if the adventure takes me around the block or around the world I get excited.
I used to have Australia and Greece on my want to see list. Then the top priorities became the Red Wood Trees and Mt. Rushmore. Recently I have thought about Mongolia (strange I know). I can't help but admire people who live in circumstances so very different from what I have experienced.
Years ago, many years ago when I took 3 months and traveled around the United States by car, Amtrak, plane and boat, I remember returning and my Mom saying, "I bet you will be glad to sleep in your own bed." Nope, if money were not a problem and responsibilities met, I would travel everywhere and see and experience as much as possible. I believe in life after death BUT I also believe it is our responsibility to live the life we have been blessed with before we die.
