March 3 Around the World
PROMPT March 3rd

I would have loved to travel around the world and back when I was younger. Now how could I have gotten paid to do that? I wouldn't have wanted to be a boat captain or an airplane pilot. Have you seen Aeronauts? I definitely would not have wanted to go around the world in a hot air balloon. Maybe a travel writer would have been fun. But honestly, when I was younger I had no interest in writing or photography. I just wanted to hike the world. I guess you might say I would have loved to be paid for experiencing life.

Now that I am old I really love staying home and am happy to do my exploring through the internet. It arrived just in time for my old age. On my days off from the office, I resent having to leave my home even to go to the grocery store or doctor appointments. I plan such trips on workdays when I am in town anyway, so I can stay home on my days off. To clarify, my home is in a redwood forest and when I say home it includes nature walks and time spent in my garden, and maybe a 10-minute drive to the beach. No more wanderlust for me.
