3 Days Until I Leave the Philippines

Will I ever come back?

Travel time is almost upon me, and I find myself anxious. It’s been a long time since I have been anywhere, and I am not used to being away from my family. But, at 54, I need to be a big boy and pull up my trousers and head into the future, because I want to travel and my family won’t always be able to come with me.

The Philippines has been a great place, but I want to see the world, and for that, I have to leave my comfort zone and start getting on planes and doing something other than dreaming about faraway places from behind my keyboard.

I’ve never had the money to travel, but I see that changing in the near future and I want to take advantage of every opportunity to see the new places I’ve only dreamed of until this point.

Things are changing in my life and things that once held me back are different now. I have the opportunity to travel solo, and I’ll be damned if I let it pass me by.

Of course, all this makes for good content - both here, and on my YouTube channel, and I see their direction heading to a place where I talk about travel and food, about trying new things late in life, and being a well-rounded person.

In 3 more days, it’s off to America for me, but it’s really the start of a new chapter in life for me.

If you would like to support me in my journeys, now would be the time to upgrade your subscription to a paid one, and help me live my dreams and create content in places all around the world.
