Explore the World
Embarking on an extraordinary journey around the globe, I found myself soaring through the skies in an airplane, marveling at the Andes Mountains, Chocolate Hills, Grand Canyon, and other magnificent landscapes below. From bustling Asian cities to the tranquil European country sides, each destination offered a unique glimpse into diverse cultures and traditions. The adventure continues on the open road, where I navigate winding highways in a car, discovering hidden gems and scenic vistas along the way. Finally, I embraced the freedom of the recreational vehicle in the United States, making camp under starlit skies and forging connections with fellow travelers. Every mile traveled was a new story waiting to be told, filled with laughter, exploration, and unforgettable memories. As I circumnavigated the world, I realized that the journey itself was as enriching as the destinations, a testament to the beauty of adventure and the spirit of wanderlust.

UPDATE
Our travel adventures take us back in the USA after staying for months in the east side of Canada. We enjoyed our roaming in Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Ontario. There are beautiful cities in Canada like Halifax, Prince Edward's Charlottetown, and Ottawa. John's favorite is Quebec City. My favorite city is Montreal. We had a great time with some friends in Toronto. I'm surprised to meet my relatives or former roommates from Manila who live now in Toronto. Definitely, I have many videos to edit someday. It will just take some time to edit them because I can't edit fast. I post shorts video for YouTube and reels video for Facebook daily. So, make sure to check some new ones soon.

May you have a fantastic 2024! In the beginning of the year, I ask myself what will be my goal for this year. Looking back over these past years, I totally enjoyed roaming around the USA and other countries. I decided to continue this goal. I even share with my friends and YouTube subscribers, how to have a good start for the year, thinking about their goal or new goals with examples of my journeys. So we can all journey together in this lifetime before we leave this physical world. (Watch my video: Start Your Successful Life Journey). Nothing is better than to achieve one's goal or ambition, and therefore feeling no regrets in the last days of our life. Reaching a goal gives joy, a soul contentment. If you have a goal, start working on them as soon as possible. If not, create one that will improve your life financially, physically, mentally, and personally.
Step by step you will reach your goal if you start now. We started our journey from Los Angeles, California visiting some National Parks and other interesting places in 2020. The goal was to drive our Recreational Vehicle (RV) from the west coast to the east coast of the USA. I love the beaches of California, the eclectic cities, Griffith Park and the Observatory, and there are many things to do in this huge city. But after 30 years living in L.A, it is time to explore different cities. Getting older has its physical limitations. When I was in my 20s, hiking up to the Delicate Arch in Utah was an easy climb. The insert photo here is from March 2004, I was 39. And it was still easy to climb up this mountain. I realized the last time I went there at age 52, the climb seemed longer, more difficult, and my breathing harder. Definitely, don't wait any longer if you have a dream place to visit because walking or climbing is not as easy in your older body. I enjoyed Arches National Park in my 20s, 30s, and 50s. In the past, I visited Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Chicago via driving a car and riding a train, the first and second time roaming the USA. It was a fantastic experience visiting those places again with the RV this time. After re-visiting my favorite places, we traveled to New Jersey where John's parents live. We then headed to Florida to visit my cousin, the manatees, Kennedy Space Center, Epcot, etc. We reached our goal and some, by driving every week. Driving in one week from west coast to east coast is not the goal. The goal is driving leisurely and exploring interesting or beautiful places. In the end we wished we could stay longer in every place we visited. Unfortunately, we didn't want to stay in a snowy, colder state because our RV might not be good during the winter. So we ended up in Florida. For 2024, our goal was to see Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Ontario during summer. We had a great time with friends in Toronto. We loved the historical Halifax, Quebec City, Ottawa, and Montreal. We checked our bucket list again.
Therefore, make sure on the way to your goal, do it step by step, and enjoy every step of it. The destination is not final. You can modify, expand or change your goals, or destinations after or during your journey.
Namaste. “The Divine within me bows to the same Divine within you.” Give your blessings to all and the same blessings will eventually return to you.
