adventure.

Travel enriches our souls. Meeting people from all over the world reminds us just how large life is. We learn about new backgrounds. We hear stories and see things we never knew existed. Sometimes walking around aimlessly in a city we've never been to before is all it takes to remember how much is out there socially, physically and culturally. The new father you met on a fishing boat who sailed in torrential storms to Hawaii, the little girl in the airport getting off the plane and running into her moms arms, or the frazzled lady you saw playing 15 different instruments in the park to make a few extra dollars. Everyone has a different story. All have had their own adventure and each chasing their own dream. 

But most importantly to me travel inspires me to be the person I am. To be confident in my dreams and that finding adventure is something I constantly crave. It doesn't make me feel guilty for being fortunate but instead grateful for the experiences I have had. Travel is about exploring everything the world has to offer. Even after long flight delays, eating out every meal, and being cramped in a tiny rental car I still constantly crave to fulfill this craving at every corner of the world. No matter how big or small the next corner is, I'll find adventure.

I thought about writing out a list of the adventures that I want to take next. But, I truly think the best adventures come when we least expect them to.

Also, thanks to the people who inspire me to keep writing and adventuring. So lucky to have such great people in my life.
