What is your earliest memory of travel?

Domestic, Florida a cousins house. Int’l, Trinidad again a cousins house.

Where is somewhere on your bucketlist? 

Australia, I want to see a kangaroo with my own eyes.

While we’re here, I’m curious - where would you choose too ‘eat, pray, and love’?

Prolly Jamaica, I love that place.

The idea of being trusted to travel as a child really stood out to me. Did you ever travel as a child/teen? How did it feel to be trusted to be somewhere foreign and new?

I caught my travel bug at 14 while traveling for a track meet. I remember walking into the hotel and thinking “I could be anyone”, similar to Carrington’s “I can do this.” It was so affirming and excited me to travel far and wide.

“Being guided by intuition is the best way to travel I sincerely believe. You never felt lost, simply led gently here and there.”

I really love this quote and I just want to hold on to it and the rest of this post. Reading this makes me feel better about wanting to travel. It reminds me of how my friends traveled out of state because they were called to do so by the Spirit. This was a lovely read! 💜 Now I want to go somewhere 😁😂

It’s always so fun to reflect after a trip why you were called there. It feels meaningful in the moment but life changing in hindsight. Safe travels to your next destination!

If I wasn't already behind on reading, I would totally subscribe to Carrington's 'stack. As it is, I've unsubscribed from several because I just don't have the time. BUT, to answer the questions:

What is your earliest memory of travel? We moved from AZ to NV when I was young, and I spent the best 5 1/2 years of my childhood there. On the day we moved there, I remember setting out on my Big Wheel to explore my side of the street and meeting my BFF for the first time. Little did I know the 30+ year friendship that would endure, to the point where he would stand up with as my Bridesman when I got married oh so many years ago. The marriage only last for 12 years, but the friendship is still going strong.

Where is somewhere on your bucketlist? Costa Rica. I actually want to move there.

While we’re here, I’m curious - where would you choose too ‘eat, pray, and love’? Costa Rica. But just the eat and pray part. Done with the love part, unless the love is self-love.

The idea of being trusted to travel as a child really stood out to me. Did you ever travel as a child/teen? How did it feel to be trusted to be somewhere foreign and new? No, unfortunately. I remember doing a San Fran field trip and my Mom coming with as a chaperone. But I was younger then. Never a foreign place, though. When I was a teen, I wasn't thinking about traveling abroad, just traveling to visit BFFs in other states. LOL
