What I love about traveling is that just when the familiar
starts to get boring you change the scenery and get a fresh look on life. Something
about traveling keeps you young at heart. I think it is the sense of adventure that
feeds my soul. It is like being a child again and learning something new. Every
time I travel I am always amazed at what I learn. Most times I return with such
a different point of view.
Most recently I went to Nashville and Memphis. What I found
was a slower and a friendlier pace. I had just come from New York where the congestion
and noise slightly over whelmed me even though I live in LA. It’s different in
New York. Life is moving at a fast pace.
The people were so friendly
in Tennessee. The whole state was so clean, upbeat and vibrant with life. The
history was deep. Did you know that at one time Tennessee was the western border
line for the U.S.? The heart and soul of American music was born in Tennessee
and is still alive today.
But what I love the most about traveling is missing the familiarity
of home. It always feels good to get back to the comfort of my own bed, my own tattered
slippers and my comfy robe. Back on the couch watching the familiar TV shows
appreciating the comfort of home. Traveling makes me feel the youthful tug of
adventure and coming home gives me the warmth of the familiar. That’s why I like to travel. It reminds me to
stay open and inquisitive while grounded and secure because no matter where I
wander I always know there is no place like home. Want to stay young? Travel because
around the corner there is always something new to learn.
