the b.u.g.

let’s play doctor:

got the travel bug? looking to explore the world? always think about distant places?

well, chances are you are a travel addict.

once the travel bug {infects} you

there is no going back-

you are a traveler for life.

------------------------------------------------

everything i do revolves around travel

i have the bug. i’m addicted.

i enjoy traveling from place to place

picking up stories along the way.

------------------------------------------------

here are some signs you might be a travel addict too:

(if you answer {yes} to more than 5 of the questions i have diagnosed you)


you start all your stories with “when i was in…”

you always ask “where people are from?”

your favorite iPod playlist only has songs related to traveling and seeing the world. “i can go the distance” types of songs haha

you don’t have paintings or decorations on the wall, you have collected post cards

you spend an hour {each day} reading travel blogs & travel websites

when you think of prices, you value things in terms how many days in your next destination it costs

you pretend you are a travel writer {uhhh yes that's me}

you plan trips for next decade

when people ask what your hobbies are, you can’t say a sentence not containing the word travel

your travel bucket list is 3 pages long

coming back to your home-base is more like a vacation from traveling

on your home-ward flight, you’re already planning your next trip

once home from a weekend trip, you’re already booking your next trip

films. make you want to travel

books. make you want to travel
music. makes you want to travel

every day brings a new destination idea

you work to -- fund -- your next trip

BIG one… thinking about all the places you {haven’t} been makes you feel anxious

when you’re not traveling ---> you fantasize about traveling
------------------------------------------

so i put this list together because i answer {yes} to ALL

------------------------------------------

i have a friend that always calls me the world traveler

his name is mathew innes

whenever we chat he always asks:

where are you off to next chels

even when we were at school at USU

he always asked what my next plan was going to be

------------------------------------------

we know {i} caught the bug

watch out it is contagious

and if you have it too…

well come on

lets live the adventures together

  1. I've caught it. I'm currently planning a trip to Thailand and another to Greece. I think I should blame you ;)
