Hello chummies,

Currently I am on youtube watching the volume two of My Global Adventures! I originally bought volume one from the local dollar store (random, but it was a travel movie for a buck so I didn't care). I LOVED it, in all it's rawness and Asia is so open and hilarious. It's about a girl that goes around to 24 counties in 8 months, hosting and giving us a look at local culture with historical facts and while doing physical challenges.

Well anyway, that was a year ago or two and a month or two ago I asked her to be my friend on Facebook. I posted a status about being left-handed today and she commented and she gave me a link to her director's youtube page to watch the rest of the episodes that I missed!! Oh I was SO excited. And I have been watching now for over four hours. I couldn't even read my new book over my lunch break because I cannot stop. I am on the China episode now and it's so interesting. Ugh, I love travelling sooo much. I just want to quit my job and go around the world. So bad. I wish I could have the money that these rich folks have and instead of spending it on prada bags and dolce sunglasses, to use it on plane fare and going to Guatemala, riding a train in India, fishing in Ireland...oh oh oh. I would die. Seriously. I just want to experience and be shocked by cultures so different from mine. I don't want. I need. It's nothing people that haven't been bitten by the travel bug will understand. None of my friends really travelled more than to one or two states here, so they just don't seem to understand. I don't blame them. I envy that they don't have to cry because they can't travel. It's not something I like because I can't do it as much as I want to. Which is always. What I wouldn't give to leave here and move from family to family in different countries. If I could seriously stay with different families and just do work to help them for it, I totally would never come back home.

Anyhow. I just wanted to share that. I have been much too busy for my own good here. I will report back tomorrow with more that I've been up to.

Have a lovely day.

Send warmth to Michigan, please :)
