#Travel

Wow. From flickr user clesanne . Need ocean now.

Just in time to give me some more ammo on why I continue to travel, won’t “grow up and settle down”. and keep raving the planet and living and working in different places like some modern day Flying Dutchman, comes this great little essay on why we travel .

It’s giving me idears again.

And I hope it gives you some, especially if you haven’t done much traveling and have been looking for an excuse to take the plunge and go somewhere.

I can’t tell you how much I love this thing for how beautiful it’s for its simplicity, brilliance and sheer joy. Dancing Matt seriously makes me happy.

It’s even better to watch this in hidef actually. So great.

When I was a kid , I harboured fantasies about driving the Paris-Dakar road rally . People who have seen me swerve through traffic will not think this is completely out of line. And when I lived in Paris I came so close as to almost sneak in as a navigator for a realdriver though it just didn’t happen.

Still, even here on the Western edge of civilization and an ocean and continent away, I haven’t given up hope.
