The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
WELCOME
This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

A young traveler in Ireland
We were sitting on the dock at Dingle Harbor when a young man walked up and and asked us to take his picture. He was from the States and had come to Dingletown to run in their annual marathon. We talked about his run and why he traveled alone. It is interesting to me how many people do go as singles. They say it gives them more freedom and they do not have to compromise with someone else. I find it just the opposite. I need someone to share in the adventure. It does take compromise and sometimes I have to miss something in order to accommodate the other person(s) but they often show me things that I have missed. This is much like life itself.
