You ever heard the expression.. "Wheres your fire?... what drives you?". I luckily have recently realized where my strength comes from and how I can ultimately find peace,sense of self, motivation & love.... TRAVEL ! I'm beyond grateful to in less than a month and a half travel across the pond, seek new adventures, connect with family, discover a culture & reconnect with my main squeeze, UncleFuncle. Life has brought us some strengthening times, full of ache and chaos, but any good person that wants to discover a new shade of reality will see through the rough patches to the end zone, that time my friends is now! It is the time I have a ticket to paradise. Now the image of a Mai Tai on a beach with cool wind in my hair is ideal, but its truly not me. What excites me most on travel is discovering the unknown, the people on the side streets that work endlessly because they don't know any other way, the guy peeling back an artichoke in a Sicily market or the vendor claiming to have the "Freshest fish" in town in Sorrento. My favorite is when you are lucky enough to encounter a man full of family pride; enough to make a tear of joy trying to sell his grandma (nona's) homemade pie or ravoli, or whatever town favorite is. All I know is that life can bring upon stress, confusion and anxiety, but if you have a bag packed, eyes wide open for exploration and a grateful heart; you already won in travel!! I can hear the vendors calling out with pride all their families specialties, I can see the endlessly working man, hustling produce throughout the market & then just see us, the Bershaws; living in the moment!
