When I was little, ages 9 to 11 and around, I watched my father pack his bags a lot. He frequently travelled on business.
I would sit on the bed, legs crossed, amidst suit covers, tie boxes and those cardboard sheets that you find in new shirts. I would watch my father pack with precision, always knowing exactly what he wanted, except for the occasional, “This tie, or this tie?”
I loved watching daddy pack. Germany, Italy, Spain – he was the most exciting person I knew.
Over the years, no matter what I wanted to be at any age (Carpentry was a genuine interest at one point), I always hoped it involved travelling, just like my daddy.
Things haven’t changed much. Except now I don’t want my job to involve travelling. I want to travel of my own accord. The only way I want my job and my travel to be related is where one funds the other.
So here I am, finding and making any excuse to see new places, soak in what they have to offer and add more pages to my big book of travel, which I’ll gladly let you peek into.
I hope you’ll find something that brings a smile to your face and that it’ll resonate with you, when you travel.

Many people enjoy travelling but not when it is too much.

I don’t know if there’s such a thing as “too much travel” for me. Haha. But I definitely don’t believe there’s only one way to travel 🙂

I haven’t travel as much as I wish but some people tell me they are tired of travelling- being in the air all the time.

That can happen I guess. Sometimes it helps to change things up – travel closer to home or take longer holidays so long flights don’t feel as taxing. But hey, travel is a different experience for everybody. I think it’s best to do what makes you happy – travel or no travel 🙂
How about you? Where would you like to travel and how do you like to travel?

I would like to travel to North America, Europe, Eastern countries by plane. Actually, coming from Africa, precisely Cameroon, I have always longed for an opportunity to travel and talk to people in other lands about the culture and traditions of my own people because I believe these are things Western people might like to hear and know things outside what they are used to. I am still hoping the opportunity could come up some day.

It’s so nice to know that you want to share your culture while learning about new ones. I hope you get the opportunity to travel wherever you want, however you want soon! And when you do, I hope I get to read about it 🙂
