2018 has been keeping me away from my keyboard; it is the end of January and this is my first chance to wish you all a Happy New Year. I hope it is turning out to be an amazing year for you.  To my dismay, I find myself with too little time on my hands to keep up with the weekly travel themes. Over the last five and a half years (can you believe it has been that long) I have loved every moment of our shared experiences and hope we can continue to check in on each other’s journeys around this great little planet. I promise to pop in with updates as time permits but for now, let me take inspiration from the adventures we have had for one last travel theme. Here are some of my travel photos that speak to me of the world of adventure out there waiting for us to discover, starting off with a precarious suspension bridge over Lava Canyon at Mount St. Helens.

The view from a plane and the endless possibilities ahead.

A path to somewhere new…

… and the road up ahead, waiting to be discovered.

Look at all those adventures just waiting to be experienced. If you would like to join in one last time (everyone’s welcome!) to create your own version of this daring and dashing travel theme, here’s what to do:

• Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Adventure
• Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too.
• Make 2018 your best year yet.
• Keep having adventures and writing about them. I will too, I promise.

A traveler is really not someone who crosses ground so much as someone who is always hungry for the next challenge and adventure. – Pico Iyer

For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it. – Jean Paul Sartre
