My Inspirations

Hey Folks,

This is me numero dos *my number two* blog regarding travels. Before I get into directions and instructions and all that stuff on traveling I wanted to let you know about my impetus or reasons for traveling.

I have many but to start it off. . .

I felt I needed to travel so I could really see what was going on in the world. I don't know about you but my impression of areas external to my neighborhood were a bit swayed. I think it is because of what the media relays.
Did you know, that Colombia is a very beautiful country with extremely nice people? And that none of the folks I met were presently doing cocaine?

I hadn't known that until I actually went to Cartagena and seen it for myself.

Or, that fact that Jerusalem doesn't experience daily bombings and shootings in its Central Business District or downtown. I really enjoyed the extreme flavors of downtown Jerusalem's cuisine and got to see the crowded shops in the Old City filled with a hodge-podge of cool little gadgets.

Another reason was to experience old-fashioned excitement. Sure, I enjoy movies just as much as the next guy but digital excitement gets old. I prefer to really navigate the Aussie Bush or swim through the emerald waters of Colombia and touch the ancient structures of Jerusalem.

How about you? What are your reasons for travel? Why do you want to see more of the world, taste exotic dishes and meet interesting people?
Have you been abroad and where? What was your first impression?

Let me know. I will always further insight to continue my globe-trotting.
