I am in a sort of training right now. Taking in all I can. Seeing as many perspectives as I can. To take with me through the rest of my life on Earth. To widen/open the aperture as much as is possible. So that it may color and light all my experiences the rest of my days. This is perhaps what it means to “live a colorful life.” To widen the aperture means more light is allowed in, which means more color, which means more vivid experiences. More light, more color, more life. May the rest of my days be lit with this beautiful spectrum. Thank you.

I see travel as education for life. As a nice side effect, travel will make you rich.
