We have been reading “The World Awaits” by Paul Otteson, it’s been extremely insprirational and is really getting us excited for our trip!
“Travel teaches. It both empowers and chastens as if forces your hand, revealing the lessons of the miles. By hitting the long road through the wide world, you remove the blinders you don’t even know you’re wearing. There’s no subsititute for being there; there never has been. The only way to bring stories of the world into your life is to live them.”
Manali & Terry’s Travel Goals
We want to see amazing things: castles, undiscovered islands, oceans, mountains…
We want to meet interesting people, share laughs and beer, exchange adventure stories and tips.
We want to challenge ourselves, stretch our limits and comfort zones.
We want to discover our palates and taste the delicacies the world has to offer.
We want to embrace our blessings, feel appreciation and revere that which is greater than us.
We want to learn and immerse ourselves in culture.
We want to be spontaneous, practical, flexible, to follow inspiration, change plans, stay longer.
