Hi again! Despite being a busy bear, I like to take time to respond to family, friends, and fans who send me mail. Please use the contact form below to send me a question or comment and I will try to get back to you soon!<\/p>\n
What kind of bear are you? Handsome.<\/p>\n Are you a sports fan? What teams do you follow? I am a big follower of American football and I root for the da Chicago Bears of course!<\/p>\n What made you want to travel? Wanderlust<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s a term that seems to be used more and more frequently every day. I read about it in social media posts by friends and celebrities. I see it engraved on the necklaces of people walking in the street. I overhear it discussed by new acquaintances at bars. Everyone is asking, “Where are you traveling to next?”<\/p>\n The condition of being consumed with the desire to travel. The word “wanderlust” is actually a German word and it doesn’t quite seem like a natural trait of Americans. We tend to prioritize professional success in life, from the time prepping for college to school itself and beyond. Get a job. Make money. Move up the ranks. Do this quickly and you are leading a successful life.<\/p>\n This is not a bad plan. But it can prevent other life goals. I would recommend that you create a bucket list. It’s a worthwhile exercise even just to get a good sense of your goals, interests, and dreams. When the time came for me to make a job change, I took a pause before rushing to the next step. I looked at my notebook and realized there was a special opportunity available to cross off many items that could only be achieved with dedicated time and in some cases, geographic relocation. So I decided to take advantage of the situation and backpack.<\/p>\n There are many good reasons not to travel: family, health problems, cash flow (although not too much is needed), commitment to long term professional or education programs. But if you find yourself in a position where you can go away for a year, DO IT.<\/p>\n Are there any questions you dislike being asked? What is your favorite country?<\/p>\n Is the website up-to-date with your latest adventures? Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to post the latest stories and pictures, but they are coming soon! Please bear with me as I work to keep the site updated with the latest reports from exciting and interesting locales. Just think of it as more to look forward to!<\/p>\n Voc\u00ea quer me visitar no Brasil? Sure! I love to meet up again with friends made through with traveling. You would be a better host than any hired tour guide. Vamos!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why the large pause? <\/p>\n Contact Form<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n[contact-form-7 404 \"Not Found\"]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi again!
