"I never regretted any trip I took, no matter how inconvenient, expensive, or unnecessary it seemed at the planning stage. I only regretted the trips I didn't take." - Carol Benet
The other day I read this quote and it really got me thinking. And of course the more I thought about it, the more upset I was becoming. The one true passion of mine is to travel. It's not the actual trip itself that I've become addicted to, but the experience that I walk away with at the end of each journey. Life is too short as we all know, and I am tired of waiting to see and experience the world.
So how do I get rectify the missed opportunities? Well here is my plan, and it's quite simple. 1 year to visit 12 countries, basically 1 country a month for the next 12 months. I have made this decision without actually thinking about the how's, where's, when's, etc, and I depart on my first adventure in less than 1 week. It's amazing when I actually put my mind to something how fast I can make things happen.
So here are the details. . .On June 16th I will not only be departing for my first of twelve countries, but I will also be embarking on my first solo trip outside the US. To set the record straight, I did not intentionally plan on traveling by myself, it's just the way things worked out this time, and as I've said I am tired of waiting. So World Here I Come!!!!
First Stop. . . Quito, Ecuador
