While I was in Paris I was asked by a new friend if I was inspired by being there, in Paris. I explained to her that what inspires me the most is the journey, the experience of traveling from place to place. Sometimes you get time alone and sometimes you end up in a train cabin with people on a similar mission, to reach that ultimate destination. I think that traveling the way that I am, alone on the train, affords me a luxury that is priceless. I get to see the beautiful landscape of the Earth and meet new people along the way. Once again, I have no regrets. I have met some great people on this journey and I have learned a lot about myself. Just 2 weeks in and I’ve already started to rethink my life. During this journey I have crossed paths with artists, writers, artists, directors, business people, families, and single youths. While I was at the Notre Dame cathedral I met a Scottish gentleman who was there celebrating his 16th anniversary (I think?) with his wife. He said to me that he thought that more Americans need to travel and that he didn’t think enough of us did. I agreed with him. We just feel that we have this great big country and that we don’t need to experience different cultures. I think that we definitely need to expand our horizons. We need to travel somewhere beyond the immediate USA. I know that a lot of us go to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Alaska, and places like that but I think we need to break through those boundaries. Let’s expand our comfort bubbles. I know we can do it!!!
