OK, so maybe I should keep track.
What I would like to do, in no specific order:
- Be a nomad. I love drifting. I cannot express how much I love aimless drifting. In a way I already do a lot of drifting, but I would like to do the "nomad" thing. I think I want the NFA (No Fixed Address) feel.
- Live for a year in the arctic. Already the first 2 contradict each other
- Try to grow my own food, or at least have a garden to grow a all bunch of my food, make preserves and the all thing. This obviously does not go well with either "nomad" or "arctic", so more contradiction.
- Go to India. This is somewhat easier ...probably even feasible.
- Go to Tibet or the Gobi Desert. Generally visit the high plateaus of Asia. This is also possibly feasible.
- Spend time by the ocean. This is also feasible but at this stage the issue becomes how much time is there really. In my mind I start to have the feeling that I need to choose if I do not want to rush through all this, and I don't.
- Do a long, very long, walk. I would love to walk and walk and walk and walk for days on end. When I was a kid I wanted to walk from France -where I was at the time- to the southern most point of India. I never figured out where that dream came from but I remember it vividly and I never really lost that dream though the final destination has become a lot less important. In fact it is somewhat irrelevant now.
I don't get many comments on this blog, which is fine, but this time maybe people (the entire 2 or 3 of you) could talk back and send me their list. I don't have to post them if you don't want me to. I am just curious.
I want to live by the ocean someday too, and in the Arctic (or Antarctica). The ocean one might actually happen because my husband has a new job that will send us somewhere new every few years.
ReplyDeleteI want to spend months travelling around China by train (or car, that's actually becoming possible now). Or by bike.
I want to make more cheese.
I want to see every corner of the world.
Thanks for this Amira. There is something special about the ocean and the Arctic. Since I wrote that list I have been thinking that maybe I should try to find a way to live by the Arctic Ocean and tick 2 off my list. As a Canadian visa wise it is a non-issue, but financially it is a different business. Price of food in the Arctic, where everything has to be flown in is absolutely outrageous.
