With a name like Wanderlust I suppose you can say it is about desire to travel. What about travel and desire? In this blog I want to explore the pleasure that comes with travel. I want to talk about spiritual fulfillment, fantastic sites, unexpected acquaintances, great food, unforgettable sex. Yes, just call it what it is: the never-ending desire to experience the world.
Not just wander but experience it like the locals do. Not that I am against tourists (I have one of those inside me too) but I think the best way to understand a place you visit is to try to mingle with the people who live there. Follow them and you may find yourself in a music festival or a free exhibit; you might find a restaurant offering free food samples or you can even find yourself sitting in a beach watching the most beautiful sunset you've ever seen.
Whatever it is that makes us travel, I think, has to do with trying to get closer with things that help us feel good inside. That thing that makes our hearts sing, our spirits rise, our mouths water. I believe that we, humans, are by nature, pleasure seeing creatures but it is never only just about pleasure: all travel is pilgrimage that makes us better human beings one way or another...
Enough said, let's talk about my wanderlust.
PS: If you are wondering the pic is from Pohnpei, Micronesia...
