“I Wish I Could Travel That Much Too!”
It happens to me every time I travel. I talk with people who hear about what I am doing and where I’m going, and they always say the same thing: “That sounds amazing! I wish I could do that.” My reply? “Somebody Had To Do It. No, but seriously, what’s keeping you from it?”

Date A Man Who Travels
Date a man who treasures experience over toys, a hand-woven bracelet over a Rolex. Date the man who scoffs when he hears the words, “vacation”, “all-inclusive”, or “resort”. Date a man who travels because he’s not blinded by a single goal but enlivened by many.
