This morning I got up at silly o'clock to get to one of my favourite places, the airport! Most people love to travel but they like the part where they're at the destination. I love all of it. I get so excited the night before that I hardly ever sleep. This time I slept a whole three hours before getting up at 'crazy' o'clock. I always meet someone interesting at the airport and can you imagine all the life, all the stories and all the history that comes and goes all day every day.
I've had some wonderful experiences on my travels. I've just discovered I've visited 22 countries and seen 9% of the world. Amazing what you can find online right!*
That's so fantastic to me. Some of my biggest dreams is to experience as much of the world as I can and learn ten languages before I'm 50 and take my cub on an incredible adventure of the continent of Africa.
To get lost in strange streets hearing a different language around me. People watching and realising people are people are people the world over. Well in the 22 countries I've been to anyway.
That we all have hopes dreams fears and joys. That smiles laughs and tears are the same in and my way tell languages.
That Brazil is enormous and it takes 24hrs to get from Rio de Janeiro to Bahia on a bus. Lol! Just throwing that one in.
One of my strongest beliefs is that travelling is one of the things you can buy that enriches your life. If we all travelled more we would see each other with different eyes and hopefully have more understanding and empathy for each other as human beings.
We don't have to wait for aliens from outta space to come and invade us to realise that we are one race, the human race. Just get on a plane, wonder the streets of an unknown country and people watch, as we live life.
You'll realise it's all the same just with different filters of language cultures and belifes.
