making restrictions into opportunities.

Lately, I've been sulking over the fact that I will never be able to travel to hot locations, the way I've always wanted to. This is due to my habit of becoming ill whenever I find myself in a place too close to the equator. I really don't mean to - perhaps it's my asthma, or perhaps my body is just too used to Canada's climate. Either way, I need to come to terms with the idea that hot, humid destinations may not be included in my future.

Part of the reason this is disappointing to me, is because traveling is something I feel I've been placed on this earth to do. I'm not quite sure why, but I feel as if I can never do any good in a world that I know nothing about. Traveling is the only way to gain any true knowledge of one's own environment.

Lucky for me, I am not confined to Canada alone. Europe seems to be a hospitable place for my body to be. I think that I will make European destinations my main focus for the next few years of my life. Again, I'm not really sure what I'm trying to accomplish by traipsing around unknown territory, but I won't know until I actually do it, will I?
