energeticIf you had the chance to travel anywhere in the world for a year, where would you go?
There are two answers to this question. First, I would love to travel back to my roots: Ireland. There is so much I could learn from my country and so much community to enjoy. Traveling there would be amazing. Living there for a year would be spectacular! The culture, the language, the dancing, the music...all of it is extremely compelling.
The second answer is I would travel around my home country: USA. There is so much HERE that I have yet to see, so many people I have yet to meet, and so much left undone. I don't have to go to a different country to enjoy a life-changing experience. I just have to travel slowly and travel simply. In that very act, I will find the life-changing experience I am longing for. If I had the courage I'd leave today, pack a sack and go on foot. Live off of others' generosity. Get to know the real America from the couches of the everyday man/woman/family. There's no telling what I would find, who I would meet, and what I would learn.
