"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list."
Susan Sontag

That indeed is an ambitious goal but it summarizes wanderlust in the simplest, yet deepest way. Traveling is a great passion of mine and I find a simple change in my environment can significantly affect how I see the world around me. So, why do I travel?
I travel to open my eyes of the beauty of nature. The shapes, the colors, the textures - there is magic everywhere you look. My eyes and my heart, with its endless space for learning, fill up with the beauty to cherish forever.

I travel to look up at the sky and dream. As clouds travel across, I realize the passing of time and the need to care for each and every moment. When the sky is clear, I hold dear the ultimate simplicity of life.

I travel to get my feet wet. Stepping into a river and feeling the coolness of water on my feet makes me alert. Water - whether moving rapidly or resting lazily - is a source of life.

My travel bucket list does not seem to be shorter. Like Susan Sontag, I will keep it open to all possibilities. Why do you travel? Let me know!
