If you want my immediate attention
Anything related to travel you may mention
I perk up at the thought of traveling to a place new
To explore a new corner of the planet, or dream about it, is my favorite thing to do..
You can lure me with images of stunning scenery
You can arouse the competitive spirit in me
By giving me a list of places that must in a lifetime be seen
I love to check off all the places to which I have been
And when you talk about travel, be prepared
That some travel story I’m certainly going to share..
*
I do not consider myself particularly well-traveled, but I can say
I am overly enthusiastic when it comes to travel in every way
Most aggravations of my daily life disappear in a new place
With a boost of energy every challenge I am ready to face
*
Is it true wanderlust or is it an escapist tendency
That makes travel so attractive for me-
There is a thrill involved in escaping the grind
In leaving the daily humdrum of life behind
*
Writing down my thoughts on travel has already released
Endorphins in my circulation, my happiness has increased!
Passion...unbridled
