This Blog

Thank you for reading my blog. You are either very considerate to me, or very lost on your current internet surfing. None the less, thanks for stopping by. 

The purpose of this blog is so that I can have a place where I can reflect on my adventures and lessons of my world travels, but it also allows you to be able to stay connected with me as I may be very far from chatting distance. 

I have been blessed in my life to have a family that enjoys travel, and that is very open to hearing various perspectives. Because of that upbringing, I want to travel, and I want to meet people who have experienced life in a much more different way than me. I am not going to lie, a part of my ambition to travel is also that I have lived relatively in the same area my whole life. I have lived all across Alberta and have moved homes and schools a few times, but I want to experience a change that is a bit more drastic than moving from a town to a city. I am lucky to have been able to see how people are able to live differently within the same province. My family's life on a farm in Viking, or an acreage in Hinton, is much different than the urban lifestyle of Sherwood Park, but I will admit that I feel oblivious to anything that is not the First World. I spend an abundance of time watching the news and reading about global affairs, but I feel that I need to experience these places, first hand, so that I can have a better grasp on these situations.

As I travel to El Salvador in July, and Jordan for the Fall Semester, I hope that my mind can be opened to view the world from perspectives that I have not fully considered, or have given my full attention. 

I am a man who spends a lot of time thinking. I probably over think and philosophise about many things, and I know that these travels will make me think an incredible amount. That almost sounds like a painful experience, but also a beneficial one. I hope that my thoughts can also lead you to maybe ponder about some situations differently. 

I also simply want you to enjoy reading about the fun I am going to have. I am incredibly excited to travel, and I want you to share in that excitement, fun, and joy.

Thank You,

Caleb
