My golden rule-
Travel as much as I can for pleasure!!!
Or work- as long as the work is taking it all in and not being shut up in a convention center!
You never know where an opportunity can take you.

Time to get going on some more of these places, don't you think?
Actually, I am lucky, I have traveled quite a bit, but then I'm not sure it is all luck. You have to just do it if you want to do it. I waited until my 40's to really start traveling, took a few trips before that but I was brought up being told that only rich people travel so it was always about going only when you have extra money. But then I had a moment of realization watching people get old and sick and realizing that life isn't infinite and if you want something, you just got to do it. But mom, you were wrong! The only rich part about travel is what you become when you do travel. You can travel without having tons of cash- you just need to prioritize your expenses so you can make it work- you need to be flexible about where you are going, and you can't expect high class super luxury trips-but who needs that? It is seeing things and tasting new cultures and meeting people and seeing what the world is all about.
Where do you want to go?
Come back soon and see you another day!
