Wow, that will get you round trip to most places...2011 was my first time to step foot on Asia...hopefully I'll make it back in 2012, 30 days is definitely not enough for the massive continent.

It was this past summer on a visit to San Diego. We had planned an awesome trip with plans to sun-bathe on the beaches and enjoy being away from the world, but little did I know that the natives have a saying during certain months of the summer... "June Gloom, and Gray May" This means that those 2 months are usually dark and cloudy due to the marine layer that rolls in from the pacific and sits low along the beaches not letting any sun through making it cold and miserable. So our week-long vacation was a bust. It rained and we were forced to due our best. SO, we planned a trip over the border to Tijuana where we were jacked by the taxi driver and a whole other adventure made it a trip to remember.

As someone that grew up hanging on a street corner looking for
trouble, my world view was extremely limited. When I came of age I
began to travel around the states and my world slowly began to open
up. However, it wasn't until 2003, at the age of 32 did I leave the
country. I followed a girlfriend to the south of France and lived
there for several months while she attended school. The French culture in
and of itself had quite an impact on me, but that wasn't the life
changing aspect. What truly impacted me was how I was treated. Keep in mind this was post 9/11, we were at an all time low for popularity among the
world community. Thank you GWB! Being American, I expected to be treated poorly. But when I got to France I found the exact opposite. The people I interacted with on a daily basis treated me with a kindness and respect for which I will never forget. I carried this positivity with me on my travels and affected others in a similiar way. I came to understand that our experiences with other people, wether it be of different cultures or our own, rely upon what we carry in our hearts. For as long as we allow our hearts to shape our minds and not the reverse, we become immune to propaganda and free to relate to one another as human beings. I learned that travel is more than just seeing unique locals, it's about connecting with people. Changing the overall consciousness by overcoming political, social, and idealogical obstacles that others build up to serve their own needs.

Seeing how my uncultured ass has never left the states, other than the occassional trip to the Canadian ballet as a 17 year old, or my Somolia, Africa trip with the Corp that landed me plasmodium vivax malaria back in 94-93. Oh yeah, I can't forget the pre 9/11 trips to Tijauna Mexico for the donkey shows....but anyway, what was my point? Oh, the french can still suck it.
