Travel a way of life

I stumbled upon this blog: nomadderwhere.com. For the blogger traveling is a way of life, it's her passion and she knows it. She goes after it and I admire her greatly for it. As much as I LOVE to travel it doesn't compare. She inspires me to keep going for it, even though financially the situation sometimes seems like a hopeless dream.
I love it so much it's always shocking to me when I meet people who don't like, heck some of them hate it. It's the exploration of a new place that I've only dreamt of being in, so to realize it is truly a dream come true. It's the interesting interaction (a.k.a pantomime and wrecking of the language) I have with some of the people I bump into. It's when I push myself out of my comfort zone and love it because I tried something new. As much as I enjoy it though I like coming home to family and having a place of my own.

Words to describe my travels: awesome, amazing, awe-inspiring, awful, beautiful, breathtaking, formidable, frantic, horrible, impressive, mind-blowing, massive, nervous, moving, overwhelming, daunting, frightening, it's just plain incredible.

My Ever-Changing Bucket List

Saw the movie (worth seeing by the way) and have read other people's bucket list for inspiration. Anywho as I get older I'm realizing it's possible to run out of time. One of those oh so I am going to die someday and it isn't possible to go back and redo life. While I have done some of these things because opportunity presented itself and sometimes I was smart enough to take advantage of them, there is SO much more out there.
