I love that line, “My drug of choice is travel.” I’m painfully aware that at 75, I won’t get everywhere on my wanderlist. I’m still trying, though. Last year, Japan and France (France through the eyes of my 18-year-old granddaughter was a revelation, Paris became new again.). This year, Belize and Iceland. Next year, hopefully returning to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
Love your idea that new experiences and adventures make you feel you're living longer, and most importantly, living well. We have the good fortune of living in Thailand so even a trip to the laundry lady is usually filled with laughter and fun. Thanks for your writing Mark. Really enjoy your attitude to life.
Sleepwalk through our lives- so so easy to do. I've always felt comfortable with routine so......I retired to Chiang Mai in July last year. I wanted desperately to get out of that comfort zone.This year I'm travelling back to Egypt and Jordan (llast vist was 27 years ago and didn't end well so need to forge new memories) and slow travel through England , Ireland and Scotland 2025. In this second part of my life I intend to travel travel travel. To shine 🌞 🌝
Completely agree. After ,say,60 it is important to create urgency in doing things you want to do. Not thinking about how and when to do those things. But do. And I use the same medication of choice - travel.

I'm way beyond mid-life, and travel hardly at all, and time is racing by faster than ever... Never enough of it to fit everything into a day or week 😬
