The World Unfiltered

The answer is I don’t have one. Except for colors…my favorite color is blue, BUT I like them all.

I had a conversation with my coworker about my travel plans. It started with him asking me what was rocking my world. My answer was “the usual.” His response was “really? your life is that good?” Honestly, yeah, it kind of is. Sure, nothing is perfect, and not everything is candy corn and roses (I don’t know where that came from, but it works), but I am pretty darn happy right now. I am on a rush of excitement as I have returned to my travel research and loosely planning. I have gone through all of the countries and islands everywhere except Europe and Asia, and am currently working on Europe. Once I finish the last two continents I will post my tentative itineraries in their respective country Destinations menu options. Anyway, I proceeded to explain why I feel so good in regards to travel research, and he was so confused. Even with my answering his questions, he still doesn’t seem to fully understand it. I don’t expect everyone too, and that is okay. That is what makes discussion a great interaction method. I am not sure if it was that he didn’t understand that I wanted to travel everywhere in the world or if he didn’t understand why or if he didn’t think it was a feasible plan. He asked me what my favorite country was, I said I don’t have one. They are all great and I want to experience as much of their greatness as I can. He laughed and asked “Okay, if you had to pick one, what would your favorite type of food be?” I thought about this one and considered saying sushi, but although I love sushi, there are other foods I like just as much. I don’t have a favorite food. I love anything and everything there is about learning and experiencing other cultures, and picking just one of anything is apparently impossible for me. There is something uniquely special about everything and everyone I encounter. To me, comparing them would seem as unfair, futile even, as comparing apples to oranges. I just can’t. Name something or someone and I can tell you what I find great and unique about them, but it would be very difficult or maybe impossible to pick just one favorite of anything or everyone.
