Confession: I love to travel. I have often said that if I could make a living while travelling I would. I know it is possible but so far I haven’t pursued a niche that works for me.
Travelling alone is okay but travelling with a friend or sister is better. I have fond memories of road trips with my sister. Once we took a full month and just travelled through Canada and the USA visiting family and friends, literally going from coast to coast.
I recently travelled through Alberta and British Columbia with a friend who is doing Canadian history research for a school curriculum publishing company. Having lived in both provinces, I had been to many of the museums and historical sites before, but it was interesting seeing it all through another person’s eyes.
Last year I went to Newfoundland with the same friend. I had never been to Canada’s Atlantic coast before and I was enthralled with the sapphire blue water and rocky beaches, not to mention the friendliness of the people and the delicious seafood.
I haven’t been off my native continent of North America very many times, but I have been to Europe and Central America. I have thought I would love to go on a cruise ship sometime. But I realize it isn’t like going out on a boat–a cruise ship can be basically like a floating city with all the shops, etc. I still think I might like to experience it. Who knows what might happen?
I know it’s not fair that I can travel and others can’t. But maybe I can take people on virtual trips in later posts. Of course the most important journey we can take is our daily walk with God. Let’s journey on and meet in heaven.
