Image Credit:  Thomas WoodsonI have been pondering traveling the world lately. I can’t quite seem to narrow down exactly what I want to do, but I know it has something to do with traveling the globe, being around others, and spreading peace. The thing I realize, and that we/I sometimes forget, is there is something to be said about a person who just “jumps”. In other words, instead of losing myself in thoughts of what might happen or where I might end up, or how I will get my (diabetic) supplies…I’m more interested in just living and the experiences that come along with it. The idea of just spreading my wings and flying…no matter what happens.

 

Stuff/life has a funny way of working is itself out. Ya know? It’s the same message I’ve been learning about in Eckhart Tolle’s teachings; to just be and to not lose yourself in worry and thoughts of the uncertain future. It’s something I say and I hear people say all the time, “too not worry about it”. I guess I’m kind of losing interest in the whole,"9-5","desk-job" idea (I’ve never really liked that for as long as I can remember). As much as I want a family, and a house, and to be putting money into a savings account right now, I don’t see much true “living” in that. Their is always time for that. What’s the hurry?

 

I’m the kind of person who gets restless doing the same things all the time. I get bored with being in the same place, doing the same things; I need excitement in my life!! I’ve been looking into things like “WWOOF’ing” (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms), the Peace Corps, and just packing up and heading out.

 

I really do want to see the world and do something "different". I would love to keep people abreast of my travels, so they too might find the inspiration to follow their dreams, intuitions, and goals in life (if you’re not already). Are you doing what you want? Do you want to travel the world? I am curious….have you asked yourself lately if you’re really happy? If you could leave right now….which you can….where would you go? What would you do? Want to see the Pyramids, Machu Picchu, Thailand?...
