Home is a broad term; it can mean so many different things to people. To most, it's family and a sense of security, not necessarily a particular structure or address. To me, it too is these things, along with that feeling inside of comfort and knowing where you belong. Leaving this sense of security behind, and adopting a global address is something that has been pulling, even nagging, since the day I returned from my last adventure. So, I made the decision to walk away from my current security, because it was feeling a little too secure, if you will. I sold my house, and took to the road.
Since childhood, I've had a fascination with all that is our world. Not just beautiful places, but ALL places, cultures, religions, etc. Understanding and being a part of this "earth home" has been, and I believe will continue to be throughout my life, an essential part of who I am. When I settled into a sedentary existence, I felt uneasy. I literally feel an internal clock inside me counting down, which sounds really terrible, I know. My clock is constantly reminding me how much I have left to see and do before my expiration date, whenever that may be. I have a certain anxiety knowing that there are so many items on my bucket list just itching to be scratched off.
I'll spend the summer working on that list. First stop, South Korea.
