Wanderer

I have a friend Jyothi, a software itinerant, whose belongings all fit in two suitcases and a bag. She can move at an hour's notice, and does, whenever the mood strikes her. She has worked all over the United States and is now in India.

I find this completely inspiring. It's a perfect example of, "Whatever you want to do, set yourself up to do it." Because she travels light, she can travel at a moment's notice. There are no impediments to the wind.

You know at first that sounds wonderful, but I know that after I am done traveling I love to come home - to the familiar smells, sounds and sights. I think after a while I would need to root myself somewhere...

I have always had a bad case of wanderlust. When I was single and unencumbered I would sometimes just get in my car and drive to wherever the car took me too.

It was fun. Sometimes I miss those days.

I get so much inspiration from your blog and Raul's. I have always loved the idea of traveling light, to see how little I could bring and still feel like I have rows and rows of trunks! A neat goal for me would be have my weight in essentials. My weight as it should be (140) not what it is now (900). I like your quote,
"Whatever you want to do, set yourself up to do it." Now, to just set myself up, huh. I love having Tahoe as a home base, but do need to get out more. Funny I always feel as if I am coming home when on the bridge into S.F. too.
Have a fantastic opening!!!
