I am trying to "Redeem the time" now that I have it. I dont want to look back on my life if I live to "grow up" and see a bunch of time and opportunity wasted.
That has become my mantra recently. You live once and there are many things that i don't want to look back and say that I wish I had done or I wish I had tried. I would be careful about international travel alone. The global climate is kind of touchy right now especially in some traditional tourist areas. I try to find things to do close by even when I'm unable to really get away. I recently got the revelation to treat my city like I was a tourist. I went to a hotel and got all the tourist info and all the ads and coupons and found all kinds of things I had never done.
