One Year Lived – Moving Around the World

It seems I’ve come down with a terrible case of wanderlust. What’s wanderlust? An irresistible desire to get moving and travel! There’s nothing I like more than traveling and moving! It’s just so fun to learn about new places and meeting new people. Traveling can clear your mind, put you at ease, and even give you a little perspective. Have you ever dreamed of moving and traveling the world?

Sometimes you need to get moving to escape or maybe just travel for the sake of traveling. Maybe the time to tackle your bucket list is now. Maybe you’ve just got the itch to travel. For whatever reason, when you feel the bug to get moving, then go! There’s just something so wonderful about experiencing different cultures and seeing how other people live. Traveling not only gets you moving to amazing new places, but it broadens your view of the world!  The internet has made the world a considerably smaller place, and it’s more important than ever for people to be globalized and get out and experience it all.  There’s a big huge world out there, and it’s important to get moving and see it.
