ABOUT ME

*As you've probably noticed, I'm not an expert on the places I visit. I'm not an authority, I'm a visitor, a traveler, an enthusiast. Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's OK. The journey changes you. It should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you, hopefully you leave something good behind. Where will I end up next? What's my next journey? Your guess is as good as mine.* ~Anthony Bourdain

PHILOSOPHY

*To treat other members of my species in the best and friendliest manner possible. To never take the life of any living creature in vain. To have a deep reverence for all things of Nature. To never be self centered in soul. To do my best to accomplish my apparent mission in life. To advance the helpful knowledge of younger and future generations. To never be without industry and personal interest in things as they are now or how they could be bettered. To have an abiding interest in the new life of each day. There is no day like today!* ~My Grandpa Myers ♥
