…….We’re live!
Hello everyone and welcome to the first blog post on my new site, Always Wander! There’s a much more in depth version in the About Me page, but I’ve decided to put my traveling passion to the test and see if I could make my experiences useful for other people. This won’t be a site that’s all about me, full of selfies of just me and “inspiring” people with some crazy story of how I quit my job to live out of a single, ancient-technique woven suitcase traveling the world with nothing but a Macbook and a buff. Nope! I still work a regular job, but make time for this amazing world around me. I work to live, and frankly that works for me! I’d love to someday be able to travel for a living, but that’s just not practical or achievable for most people out there. You could say I work to wander. So, with Always Wander, the only inspiration I hope to be able to give you is to keep wandering. Keep up with reviews, traveling tips, city guides, and some other cool content like interviews as my site grows. I want to help you to become a better traveler with a better sense of direction. Leave comments with your own insight. Help each other, let’s make this a community.
It was a significant, powerful experience. I don't know how else to say it. I mean, to be in the place - to physically stand in the place - of the most horrific, singular act in human history, is an unbelievably sobering thing to do. I'm not going to sit here and utter some cliche about "Boy, this really puts things into perspective." It doesn't. This isn't the same as seeing someone in the streets less fortunate than you, or a family member passing away that you thought was fairly healthy. This goes much further beyond that. You can't possibly put yourself in these people's shoes. It stands as a stark reminder that the Mother of Invention doesn't always give birth to kind and noble children. We have a great responsibility to ensure that this never happens again. All of us. There are other ways. And there are better ways.
In order to make the site useful on launch date, I’ve already added a few articles. It’s not much yet, but I’ve got more coming. I travel as much as I can, and I've outlined all sorts of subjects I want to write about for those looking for information as they plan their trips. More content will come after my trips, too. Blogs should come quicker than that, I hope. We'll see!
I've got a few things up already, you can visit those pages here:
