I think I was an explorer in my past life, because recently I've been playing a lot with Google Earth. Now, most of you guys remember my past obsession with maps and atlases, well it's no longer an obsession but I still do enjoy browsing them. I guess I'm more interested in tools such as Google Earth where I can zoom in and see satellite images of the places I'm looking at. But recently I've been on Google Earth way more than usual, just looking for really strange and remote places that maybe most people haven't ever heard of. I just have the biggest desire to go as far North as I can. I want to visit all the remote villages in northern Canada, Alaska, and Greenland. I want to visit Russia, and go to the east coast and see the big cities there that nobody ever talks about such as, Vladivostok. Have you ever heard of that rather large city? I hadn't until just recently. I'm sure it's not the most fun tourist destination, but I just have such a fascination with so many random places, Russia being the one I'm most curious about.

I just hope and pray that when I'm older I'll have the opportunity to travel. I've been saying for a while, that of course I hope I am rich when I'm older, but honestly, the only reason I want money is so I can travel and see this amazing planet. If there were a way where I didn't have to be paid much but I could still travel, I'd be fine. Of course I want a big house and a lexus, but I could live without those things as long as I can see the world!

I think I got my travel bone from Grandma and Grandpa, you guys have been every where and I hope I can do the same in my life! Anywho, I've got a paper to write today, (it's not due until FRIDAY but I'm being a good student and starting today! It's about the cold war, ugh.)
