Questions from the back of the card: Travel

the interesting idea... the start of this project... the conversations to come

I'm a member of Post Crossing, the internet site for postcard exchange. I sent a card to another Post Crosser, Ilona from Germany. She asked that people tell her which magical power they would like to have. Her question really made me think!

In turn, I thought it would be an interesting project to ask people to pose Thought-Provoking Questions. I would do my best to answer with my opinion, and I would encourage others to add theirs.

And, so was born this blog! I hope that it will be the home for many interesting conversations in the year ahead!

Where do we start, why are we here, and where are we going?

A "simple Ukrainian guy" (his words, not mine) wants to know:

If you could choose a country in which to be born, what would it be?

An 8-year-old from Australia wants to know:

Why are we made?

A couple from Russia want to know:

Where would you travel?

Right now, I'm happy to have been born here, to stay here, and to contemplate why I was made in the first place!

Travel Bug?

Agata, from Poland, who will soon be embarking on a big adventure of her own (going to university!), wonders...

Would you decide to drop everything and travel all over the world?

Hmmmmm... I'm a little bit in the camp of "there's no place like home" and a little bit in the camp of "have suitcase, will travel." Probably yes, I'd go, provided I could pop home for some TLC!

Forever, and ever, and ever and ever and ever and ever and then some more

On January 4, someone posed the question: What would you do if the average life span was only 40 years? You can check that question here.

Today, from the Netherlands, comes an opposing question:

What would you do if you had to live forever (and you're one of the few people on earth to do so)? Would you do very different things/make different choices in life?

Well, if I was assured health and relative safety, I'd travel.

I'd love recklessly and wildly because I would know that the people I loved would leave me, and I would want them to know how much I treasured them while they were here. That's a start.
