Overcome the Mundane through Exploration

As a child, I remember looking up to the sky and imagining the great vacations I would be going on as I gazed at the airplanes soaring across the skyline above me. We didn’t have the money to go on vacation when I was little, and because of this, it seemed to fuel my need for discovery. I told my mom I would travel the world, and I must say, I’ve worked hard to keep this promise.

The first real trip I took was with a friend, and I was 17 years old; we flew to Florida for 3 weeks. I had worked hard and saved for the trip, which was worth every penny. Since then, I’ve taken 1 or 2 vacations a year via car, ship, and/or plane, and I’ve loved every minute of it.

Tonight, I’m sitting in Savanna, Georgia, as I write this blog. We’re staying in the historic district downtown off the river, which is absolutely beautiful. From the trees, the cobblestone streets, the waterfront views, the local culture, food, and shopping to the history experienced in this area, all of it energizes my spirit. We flew into a stormy evening, but the rain didn’t damper this adventure. We walked around, enjoyed a tasty seafood dinner and then, to my surprise, we were in awe as we witnessed a double rainbow that appeared above in the heavens. It was the end of a perfect evening, and I caught as much as possible on film.

Whether we’re flying off somewhere or driving away in the car, I love to explore. It really is a way to invigorate your life. I believe my curiosity is my greatest gift!

Where is the last place you visited? Where will you go next? Tell me about it, I might want to go!
