What's On Your Bucket List?
'm a woman who travels. I boldly flip a coin and let the day take me where it may. Others commend me for my fearlessness of traveling solo to third world countries. Some confess they are living through my adventures as they could never do what I do. And then there’s me. I secretly wish I were that tough, that much of a rebel. So for all the folks out there that wish they were more like me … I’m right there with you. For every amazing trip I’ve taken, there’s a road I wished I would have taken, a leg that was left forgotten based on some excuse that it just couldn’t be done. Not enough time, not the right conditions. Excuses. Like taking the train to Machu Picchu instead of the 4 day hike. The real truth. I was simply afraid to do it. Not that I didn’t think I really could, but maybe I just was afraid to do it alone. There is truly no reason I can’t do these things, sure I’d need some training or planning, but it’s all doable. And now there are adventure companies that help everyone do anything these days so there’s simply no reason not to try whatever your heart desires. Over the past year, I have watched a few friends take journeys that to date I have only dreamed about.. I covet their passion and commitment to go big, go far and go beyond. I’m excited to share their stories.
