Let's Go Back To Africa

Well, it's that time of week. I know you're not expecting a story. And good. Because you're not getting one.

It's time for me to share a video with you. I know I've been on a kick recently with movie trailers, but don't worry, this isn't another one. Instead, I'm falling back to my old ways - no not a time lapse either, but a travel video. There is some thing about the world that fascinates me. I've explained it before, it's the people, sights, foods, the cultures. It amazes me how many different varieties of each there are out there. Ready and waiting to be experienced. I love embracing the unfamiliar. It helps us grow, get a better perspective on life - lets us realize we're not the only one that matter - there are another 7.1 billion people on this planet. Why not go out and experience a little piece of their lives?

When you watch the following piece - I want you to understand it isn't the typical kind of video I'd show. Yes - it's a little sappy. It's essentially a love letter from a man to a woman (just listen to the narration and you'll know what I mean). Does that make it bad? No. Not at all. I'll admit it's extremely adorable and if someone ever felt that passionate about me - I'd be the first to blush. The words he says are all very poignant and true and I'm happy that both he and her are going to spend their lives together.

But...the video itself is just so damn gorgeous.

The lush greens, the crystal clear waters, burning sunsets, abundant wildlife, early morning haze, the fog nestled upon the mountain tops. Everything is so pictures.

You all know how much I loved my time in Africa. If I could hop on a plane and go back to Morocco tomorrow, I absolutely would. No second thoughts. Granted, this video showcases many different parts of the continent, but it only stokes my fire. I need to get back there. See the Serengeti, walk along the dunes barefoot, eat more of the incredible food, stand atop the mountains, explore the jungles, meet new people, embrace the culture - the differences.

Traveling isn't just a passion for me anymore - it's a necessity.

If life truly is an adventure, why ever slow down?
