I am sure if we all think back over some of the journeys we have made, we will have a funny, exciting or hair raising story to tell about a method of how we got from point A to point B. Its so true when people say, its not just the destination but the journey to get there which is part of, if not all of the adventure and joy of travelling! Do you have a weird and wonderful story about how you got to the place you were trying to reach? If you do - I would love to hear it!  Please share! Here's one of my most interesting and great memories of a destination reached! SPLIT - CROATIA Croatia - Split to the  Village of Bogdanovic  This is my father's childhood family home and in part, mine too. Let me set up the mood -Its 1990 and my first overseas journey.  I am travelling with my cousin Marina and we both have very limited understanding of the Croatian language. We had been already travelling on this journey for 3 months so we're pretty relaxed, i...

A journey to a destination but also through life. Why is it that we have this drive to explore? People who love to travel (not just vacation) but want to explore, and learn about other people and cultures will understand where I am coming from here. It's a drive to learn and see everything we can on this planet.  I think it's also a way for us to improve ourselves as humans. I feel that I have grown to be a more understanding and tolerant person because of the traveling I have completed. Life's journey (like traveling) can be at times, a joy and also a struggle. Both life and traveling can be an adventure or a battle to get to where we aim to land. What are some of the most challenging or interesting journeys you have taken to reach the destination you were planning to get to? Did the planned destination change because of the journey? I have one great memory of when I was traveling through Europe for the first time. I was 23 years old and with my cousin Marina. We were back...

I started writing this blog topic nearly 10 months ago when I first decided that I wanted to write a book. Its been sitting in draft until today (the blog I mean - not the book).  I seem to have been side-tracked with life, as we all do at times.  The idea started marinating in my mind about writing a memoir on  the subject of my travels and how exploring the planet seemed to be when I could truly find myself. I know this sounds corny and we are all seem to now wish to find our 'true' self, but I think its really important to living a happy and filling life - so not so corny I think. Understanding who we are and where we come from helps to understand the generational behaviours we all carry with us. I also wanted to re explore the old country 25 years later and see how my memories and perceptions may be changed. I hesitated to start writing the book because I asked myself - - everyone's got a great travel story and why would mine be any more interesting that people would ...
