I have thought a lot about the last year and how much a challenge it has been and how I have capped myself from true experiences. After much soul searching, inspiration and a healthy dose of fear and risk I am going to plan to travel out into the world sometime next year for 2 months or so.

I realize that today, right now I want to experience life in ways I never had and test myself more than I think is possible. This gets even more treacherous because I am a diabetic but while that may complicate matters if I let that stop me then the condition wins. I will not give it one more inch, nor another quarter and if I can make this journey then so much more is possible and that is worth the time, energy and chance that I will need to take. If I wait I will wait forever and I am not down with that so I will not wait anymore and will not let fear stop me from doing what I need to do to really experience the diversity the world has to offer. The thing is when I was watching Departures on OLN the other day what Scott said about by the end if their journey he recognized the similarities more than the differences is something I feel I need to experience with my own eyes. Here’s to 2011 and to getting away from the tourist traps and the way to the adventure.
