Its always exciting to head out on a trip. Whether it is in the car heading to a local destination or in a plane heading to the other side of the world the buzz always gets to me when I am heading off.
What do you need on these trips. Well I always pack light. A change of clothes, some toiletries, my journal and some maps. Maps are a necessity. I always carry a world map on my travels. You never know when you will feel inspired to plan a new trip! If its local I will have my map of United States handy plus some local ones such as map of California, a map of Florida or a map of Georgia.
My imagination runs riot when I look at a map. My mind flies off and in my head I start planning new ways to fit in all the things I want to see. I also never read a book without having a map or atlas handy as a reference. Reading about other people’s travels is an inspiration and reinforces my desire to devote so much of my life to traveling.
