I really want to travel the world. I want to go anywhere and everywhere and just take it all in. I want to experience things I never have. I want to learn new things and meet new people and just see the world.

If i could afford to I would take a decent amount of time off of work and go somewhere but unfortunately I am unable to do so right now. However, once I can you can count on it happening.

Over the summer I visited some family in Alaska. It was completely amazing. I saw things I never thought I would. I had doubts about going but overall it was an amazing experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wish i could have spent more time there actually. Two weeks just wasn't enough time to take everything in. While I was waiting for my flight the day I was leaving I met a very interesting young man. I was sitting on the floor of a small over crowded airport writing in my notebook. He came over and sat down next to me. The first thing he did was comment on my shoes, apparently that gave it away that I wasn't from there. haha The first thing I thought was great now i'm getting hit on in the airport. However, it wasn't completely like that. We started talking and he began telling me about how he just up and left Georgia once his semester was over and radomly decided to come to Alaska to spend some time and just check it out. He was there for about two months and had gotten a job at a camp there. Then he started telling me how once he returned to Georgia he was then going to go to Europe for awhile and just "explore" what was to him the unknown. He was very motivated and spontaneous. It sort of caught me off guard to hear him say all this. He was just so willing to leave his comfort zone and go out into the world, by himself, and experience a whole new life style. It really made me think. Anyways, he asked why I was there so I told him I was visiting family. We then shared pictures with one another. Right before we boarded our plane we took a picture together with his camera, I wish I would have gotten one with mine too. I don't even remember his name. :( It would have been cool to stay in touch. We were on the same plane to Georgia though. He came back to my seat every now and then to chat...it was a really really really long flight. haha I sometimes wonder if that picture of us is out there on the internet somewhere. I guess I am only writing about this because he really inspired me. I mean I have lived in the same city my whole life. The same house as a matter of fact. Yes, I have traveled but not a lot. I've been to a few places..mostly with my family. I just want to go on a road trip with a really close friend or just book a random flight to somewhere and figure out the rest once we get there.

I want to make the most out of my life and I would like to see the world in a different light than I do currently. I have to leave sometime..I don't want to be in Chesapeake forever.
