Traveling Hobo

Sometime in the past I went on the trip of a life time. I got in my car, had my sister and best friend in the car, drove to Chicago and boarded a plane. That plane took me off to the adventure I will never forget. It took me to Europe where I got to meet some of the most amazing people I ever have in my life. Since it is throwback Thursday, I decided I would write a blog about the past and hopefully the future. I also have been inspired by a family friend of ours who is living the life and traveling across the country just getting to experience all there is to offer. SHE IS LIVING THE LIFE! I am always struck with wanderlust (that's the term right? I am not an English person so someone tell me!) Anyways, I always want to go somewhere. Even if it is in my own city, I need to get out and experience things. I need to try something I have never tried and I need to do something I have never done. I simply just need to LIVE! If I was a billionaire, or one day when I make it big as a singer or actress, I will spend every dime I have experiencing life. I will visit every where in the world. If I blow it all and become a poor hobo on the street, then I will move to a state where it is always warm and live my days on the beach building sandcastles. Or i can move somewhere tropical and open some type of stand to sell something since that always seems to work for people in the movies! I just am one of those people who gets so bored with the everyday mundane. If I am stuck in the same routine everyday I will get bored. I will get grumpy. I will want to go to a different restaurant than olive garden or O Charleys just to mix it up. I think it is a wonderful thing to have wanderlust and I think the world would be better if everyone was struck with the wanderlust bug! I think no one should settle with what is in front of us but instead strive for more and strive to learn more. One of the most valuable things I learned from that trip to Europe is about the cultures of others. I learned how they talk and I learned how different my life in America was. I learned how I was just a greedy little punk like the rest of America because I take so many things for granted, but I also learned we may not always be the best in everything. I learned that if you just sit down and talk to someone new, even if they are in the same neighborhood as you, you will learn something you never thought possible. Everyone has something new to offer. Everyone you meet, if you go into the meeting with the right attitude, will teach you something you never thought possible. I titled this blog Traveling Hobo because maybe that is what I will be doing this summer. Due to people being big stupid dummies I have my whole summer wide open before me now. I can go where ever I want. I can travel. AND I WILL! I do not care to go alone. I know KARATE. I can defend myself. I want to go somewhere never before. I will welcome all passengers. I also titled it hobo because as an unemployed 24 year old, I have about enough money to make it to Indiana. But again, I am tough. I don't need money. I can be like forest gump and run across the country. I just feel like everyone should travel. Everyone should try things. I have no technical ties holding me down. I am free and I want to capitalize on that freedom. Even if all I get to do is take day trips to random places, I am going to. I WANT ALADDIN< I WANT SOMEONE WHO CAN SHOW ME THE WORLD>
