100 + 1.

This is my 101st post! Which prompted me to begin an “overhaul” on the site (see: new layout/tabs). It’s a work in progress.

I’m finding it fascinating to read back on old posts from 2009, when all of this began. While I still have similar viewpoints it’s strange to read. Almost as if I’m reading someone else’s thoughts. I never would have guessed where I would end up at the beginning of this huge venture, but I’m beyond thrilled where it has led me. I don’t know what the future holds (other than, of course, more travel!) but I’m quite excited to find out.

I have so much more to see! I feel like I have barely started my travels, something that will never be complete (which is a good thing). My goals going forward are simple, my life ambitions similar. There are three.

  1. I want to see as much of the world as I can, and meet as many fantastic people along the way (after all, it is the people, not the places).
  2. I want to make a positive impact on the world. However small it may be, the world has given me so much joy through travel, I want to do what I can to give back.
  3. I want to love, and be loved.
The rest doesn’t matter very much. Take away everything, just let me have the freedom to see this incredible world, the beautiful and the terrible, let me be better for it, and share it with those I love. This is all I want.
