So many places . . .

There are so many places I've been, so many places I'd like to go. But it's so hard, to go somewhere, anywhere, for a short period of time and really understand that place. Everywhere is unique. It has it's own unique atmosphere of people, values, ideas and practices. That's why I usually like to go somewhere when I have the time and resources to invest in the area with a sincere interest, whether it be as a tourist, or as a local. I also then, usually get sucked into the beauty of a place and never want to leave. Hence, my nine years in Hawaii. But, if I could, there are 100 . . . 200, places that I would spend 9 years or more. But because we can't be everywhere at once, and we can't live everywhere and experience everything that we want to; that's why we read, write, share photos and now videos with people all over the world. We can live vicariously. We can learn vicariously. If I share my experiences, you can know what it's like, good and bad, to live in Hawaii without actually giving up the precious life you've made in the place that you love. If you share your experience with me, then I can know that life too. All you ever wanted to know about living in Hawaii, starts right here.
