Sometimes you just crack me up. I have been pondering the same thing the last few years. And hope for at least 20 or 30 more years of adventure. But who knows right. Seize the day.
Oh good, not the only one. I just feel like I see people who can travel one day and not the next...and then they share that they had all these dreams left. I feel if I put a # on it (for me) then I will work towards seeing/doing all I want by then. And, if I get extra years or decades then those are bonus years. Thanks for sharing.
This resonates with us too. While I don't think we have called out a specific age, we do try to live our life on the basis of the fact that some day we might not feel as physically able to travel anymore. We look at our parents, who are healthy but less inclined for long haul travel nowadays and realise that one day we may just not want to. So let's do it now while we feel strong both mentally and physically. Likewise, with Mark's cancer diagnosis that also taught us to take the bull by the horns and do the things NOW. That's the core tenet really of our Everyday Journeys substack, to encourage people not to wait to do the things they'd love to do. Thanks for sharing Jessica!
So true, what we want now and what we want at that magic age may very well be different and then do we feel like we missed out? Or are we just happy with our new wants? How does our partner feel? Best to just do it all NOW! Who knows what the future holds. So happy you guys are doing it!
