Adventure travel has to be the thing that excites me most. I love world-wide travel and see things in person and up close. Watching the TV is alright for getting travel ideas but great memories don’t come from watching, they come from doing.
I have seen thousands of pictures and films that include mountains but seeing the Rocky Mountains up close and personal when I was in my 40’s blew me away. I thought I had a good image in my head of just how massive they are but my little brain had no idea. That was a life changing moment and made the urge for world-wide travel even stronger.
It’s only natural for human beings to explore. We get excited at the thought of seeing new places, and tasting foreign cuisines. When it comes down to it, we just want to know everything the world has to offer. And this is why we all harbor an interest in world wide travel. Now I’m not saying that every single person will at some point take it upon themselves to venture out across the oceans and explore foreign lands. Many will not. However, there are many of us that demand on seeing certain cities, and countries, regardless of how far off they are. The trick is making the dream a reality.
If there was only one place on this earth you could visit, what would it be? No wait; let me guess. Probably the most cliche hot spots I can think of are France, Italy, Australia, Canada, Africa, England, and the USA, if you don’t already reside here. These are what world wide travel is all about. Pop open a search engine on the Internet and punch in any of these countries. You’ll be flooded with world wide travel deals and specials galore. Airlines and lodging services know where people are headed, or at least where they prefer to travel to. It’s sounds kind of funny, but when I hear my family members discuss traveling outside of the country, they routinely mention Canada, Paris, Rome, Venice, and Australia. What a shocker! Pretty much the same places every other American wishes to visit.
Traveling, especially world wide travel, is nothing to be taken lightly these days. As you’ve surely seen on the world news time and time again, we’re constantly at war. Therefore it’s rather difficult to tell what regions are completely safe to visit, and if now is a prudent time to leave your home country at all. There’s no doubt we have to be cautious when visiting foreign lands. Furthermore, you should remind yourself that just because you’re stoked about seeing a far-off country, doesn’t mean that the locals there are excited about seeing you. In my experience with world wide travel, foreigners want our money, but not typically our company. All the more reason to take precautions while visiting. Travel safe and plan ahead.
As baby boomers we are close to retirement. I am already semi-retired and work online. My wife has just 6 months left until she can retire but I know she won’t, not just yet. We do have two months of vacation time that allows us to do some traveling but once we are both retired there will be no stopping us.
