“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” – Lao Tzu Words have never rung truer in my mind. Traveling has always been an exciting passion of mine and as it sits I have had the luxury of growing up around the world. When I started backpacking, more than 10 years ago, it was a totally different scene than it is today. Today most backpackers have a computer or iPhone, Facebook and every other conceivable way to stay connected on the road, able to have an adventure without losing connection with friends, family, even work.
Today is different, today I have actually started my very own adventure blog all about backpacking on a budget, going to amazing different places in the world and having an adventure that suits your particular needs and comforts. I have seen so many different types of travelers over the years and it seems that everyone has a different goal or destination. It’s a lot like playing telephone when your a little kid in a circle, someone whispers to the next person and by the time it gets to the last kid the idea is totally different then when it started. You start your trip with a goal in mind and it morphs and changes into reality in a completely different way then you expected. That has to be my favorite part of traveling, never knowing what is coming next.
So here is the view from my rooftop, and well I guess I am pretty fortunate to be able to travel to such amazing places. And now with online bachelor degree programs you can study from wherever you choose to make your home. The world is so huge, but daily it seems to be getting smaller. The internet is connecting everyone to everything and making the travelers life even easier. Why not get a degree while you travel, or find a job that you can do from anywhere through the internet. It seems like this is the future, space seems to be the final frontier, but until that pans out for the masses we are here exploring our crazy planet.
So today I leave you with one final thought,
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with one step” -Lao Tzu
And in much the same way a blog of millions of pages must begin with one word.
