The Lifelong Tourist.

Have you ever noticed that whenever you're a tourist on vacation, time seems abundant, everything around you is fascinating and new, and everyone has a story to tell?  If you have, then you'll understand this blog.  If you haven't, then maybe you need this blog as much as I do.  :)

I don't think I'm alone in saying that I struggle to stay in the present moment-- to truly enjoy, or at least accept, the moment, whatever it happens to be.  But when I'm travelling, it comes with ease.  Everything is here and now and exciting and new, and anything could happen at any moment.

The truth is, the only thing different about travelling and "normal life", is that usually you have a day job, and day responsibilities, that aren't conducive to say, climbing Mount Pilatus.  This blog won't be about the day job and day responsibilities and how to stay present in those.  Plenty of people and blogs out there can help with that, and since I haven't figured that out yet myself, that's not coming from me! (Check out some Eckhart Tolle to explore that new earth...) Instead, this blog will be about taking those pockets of time, even finding those pockets of time, and living them like a tourist:  with wide eyes and an open heart, ready to explore this world with a sense of adventure, and abundance of time.
