“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
This is one of my favorite quotes from Mark Twain. I’m not a sailor…but, I love to travel and explore. While Mr. Twain uses sailing terms to describe his exuberance for exploration the larger picture drawn here is simply the encouragement to GO. Get out, explore…do something fun. There’s a great big world out there waiting for you to explore it. Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?

Hi there!
Sometime ago, i came across that same quote from Mark Twain and it has been swimming through my mind since. However, there are other priorities which makes us set aside our “personal dreams such as world exploration”:-) But as i saw this article of yours, my mind was once again stirred:-)
In this big, big world, i guess being able to travel is everybody’s dream. Going back to your question… where do i wanna go? I’m from the Philippines and it’s sad because i haven’t been to many places in our country. I want to explore our country, i want to visit the main cities and i wanna be there during the celebration of the festivals. I wanna see what it’s like. Well, i’ve seen it on tv but i wanna be there… i want to experience the moment. The child in me, on the other hand wants to experience going to carnivals… to experience the exhilarating rides, the food, the fun of just being there. I want to go to Disneyland. I know it’ll be fun, no matter what age bracket one belong. I also want to go to other countries, meet people, learn about their language and culture. I wanna attend yoga classes, swimming lessons, go bunjee jumping, sky diving. I wanna climb mountains and sail seas… oh, my list can go on forever…
