I believe that traveling does not only mean hopping on a plane and going off to another country. I believe it is not limited to getting on a bus and being kilometers away from home. Traveling is a journey, and a toddler’s journey could mean a few steps from the backdoor to the backyard. As long as one learns something new from where she’s been and where she’s now, that is traveling for me.
I learn a lot when I get lost, even if I am in the same city I have lived in for most of my life. There is something new and exciting about being lost, it is even more frightening to be lost in a place you call home because you discover that you do not know everything. There is a strange feeling that I can’t seem to pinpoint whenever I get lost , it’s almost like I am in a twilight zone, between the world of dreams and reality. And that’s a place I like to go back to every now and then.
