what colours have you seen today?

I bought this Lonely Planet guide a few months back - something that I thought would really be useful as I was then planning to start my tour around South East Asia - one weekend at a time.

And last night, I was browsing through its pages and I read the profiles of the contributors. One profile really struck me the most. His name was Josh, and this was his profile:

Josh has backpacked around Thailand, Vietnam and Egypt; spent a month on a sailing boat in the Caribbean; lived in a kibbutz in the northh of Israel;l and worked as a cook at a hostel in Jerusalem. He's also lived and worked in Paris and Kyoto. He loves to swap crazy stories, eat good food, drink pastis, bask in warm weather and scuba dive - Vietnam quits him just fine.

Honestly, I feel that a life well travelled is a life well lived. Our world is just so amazing, and there's so much to see! And this guy, though undoubtedly he probably still has that yearning to travel, has definitely begun to live, and has seen more of the world than most people.

Here's to making sure that in a year or two, I myself can write a profile similar to Josh's. Here's to a life well lived!
