Are You Thinking of Traveling? Get Inspired.

I admit it. I am starting to get just a little bit excited about leaving. I’ve held my cool this long, through the whole process from when it was just this delicious secret my husband and I shared, to telling family and friends, to selling all of our stuff, to quitting my job, to now– two weeks before we fly to Madrid. I don’t know what to expect, but I am optimistic. Will it all be a glossy montage of great moments? Not likely. I would like my own soundtrack though, that would be cool.

So I’ve been trolling youtube and watching some great videos that round-the-world travelers have put together. If these don’t inspire you to travel, then email me and I will send the paramedics, stat.

Where in the World is Matt? If you haven’t seen this video before, it became a huge Internet sensation a while back. Love the sound track and the dorky dancing. He’s my kind of traveller.

Walk on the Wild Side. Julie Dimon travels around the world as a freelance travel writer. I like the part where she’s like, “Ok here I am on a camel. [laughs] Here I am.” That pretty much sums it up.

Around the World by Human Power. This couple circumnavigates the world by the power of their own bodies. Incredible story.  A little scary but they made it.
