International travel feeds my soul.
I cannot live without the adventure of new places
and unexplored culture all around me.
It has been a part of my life
ever since I made my own choices.
As a young child I yearned for it
but had no means or interest from anyone else in my life.
When I called the shots
I packed a bag
and started exploring
and wandering through other places.
Of course Europe was the most accessible.
So many cultures in close proximity
so much to see and so welcoming.
I loved England
Scotland
Wales
and of course Ireland.
I became more adventureous
and started wandering a bit more far afield.
I believe that Egypt was an all time favorite.
Something about the history being so old
and so interesting.
Something to learn at every turn.
The Nile and the markets.
The temples and the carvings.
The tombs and their secrets.
I was totally in heaven.
But China holds so much
and it is vast and never ending.
I think that China has given me more than any
other culture.
And I claim it.
I love the fact that part of me
is part of it.
I love the fact that I have explored so much of it.
China is kinda mine.
China has alot to do with who I am
and whom I will be.
So I wander
get inspired
paint
and keep painting.
I will never stop wandering
and discovering.
I will keep doing it as long as this
world gives me breath
and blood in my veins.
I will paint and remember each step
each thick hot chocolate in Italy
and each lapping wave on every coastline.
I will wander and learn new things
while I remember the past.
