Getting back to your roots.

Ever wonder what it was like for your ancestors?  I have, on many occasions.  That's one reason I'm writing this blog.  This blog is going to showcase any of my travels that I go on, that lead me back to my root countries, along with other countries of interest.  So what are my roots?

Well, the ones that I know of are: Seminole, Blackfoot, Cherokee, Irish, Scottish, British, German, Dutch, and Italian.  I guess you can say that I'm a bit of a European Mutt.  Nothing but a mixed breed.  That's being seen a lot more commonly nowadays.  Especially in America.

So, you can be sure that anyone who has roots in more than one country will want to visit their roots.  For me, it would probably have to be Ireland, Scotland, and England for starters.  Sense they are so close together and they are all on an island basically, it's a good bet to hit there first.  Then I'll probably head to Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.  After that, I'll probably hit the rest of Europe.

Now, I want to travel and explore every country in Europe, but Europe isn't the only place I want to go.  Asia is so rich and full of culture that it would be foolish not to go.  I especially like the Japanese and Chinese cultures.  Lots of history to boot.  I'm a big Architectural fanatic.  Now, that doesn't mean that I love to design buildings, and so forth.  That merely means that I enjoy looking at and learning about the various kinds of architecture in the world.  Old Europe, and Ancient Asia both have some marvelous architectural designs that one can admire and drool over.

Where else would I like to travel?  Well, there is Australia, The Philippines, Egypt, South Africa, Peru, Chili, Brazil, Belize, Costa Rica, etc.  Many places all over the world that I would love to travel.  Those adventures will be showcased here.

What other reasons are their to travel?  To have fun?  What about Food?  Ah, glorious food.  As Gordan Ramsay would say, The Glorious F Word.  Ok, well, maybe he didn't say that, but he has a show called The F Word.  Food in general is so savory, that one would be foolish to not try foreign dishes when ever they could.

New experiences, that is what life is all about.  Savoring the moment, and enjoying time spent with friends and the new friends you make all over the world.  So, it's time to set out, and Be Bold, Be Adventurous, Be Frugal.
