Wow, Dascha! Hell of an attitude in life, to enjoy it despite all! Really inspiring! You have travelled quite a lot. I only do it mentally! Here in India, I've only lived out of my home state for 3 years, and have rarely been out of my state otherwise. But in my mind, I'm always on the move, in Iceland, or in Paris, or New York, and etc. I would love to do it physically sometime.

I love that you've donned myriad hats over the decades and done a HELL LOT OF STUFF, and also your passion for knowledge and reading. Do tell me your favourite fiction reads.

Moving on is a very important lesson in life, and never giving up. Thank you for showing us that.

And the song that comes to my mind when I think of travel is, Heroes, by David Bowie.

Lovely reading your stuff! Take care. :-)

Love,

Your journey has been amazing! I also love the idea in this song but my journey has been one of simple adventures although just as exciting for me. I've not travelled extensively, not been away from North America, and I live less than 50km from where I grew up. Never lived out of the Fraser Valley. Simple life but it's led me to sleeping under the stars at 8000ft up a mountain and has taken me on a walk to the summit of Mt Baker. I've river rafted, explored caves, rock climbed, and on and on. I've driven across Canada many times, whenever possible off the main highway taking time to meet people in the small communities that make us such a great country. Just embracing those moments that have made wonderful memories. And those roadblocks that I've encountered? Well, then, I'm just older and still runnin' against the wind 😉

I do. I wish I could travel more, and I always want to go, go, go. I hate sitting too much and I hope when my husband retires, we can travel more!

I love this road, potholes and all. LIFE is a grand adventure.
