December 25, 2011: Who do you love unconditionally? Who loves you unconditionally? Who do you love despite their flaws? All is love. #resound11

Yeah, right. I could answer this from several different aspects of “love”. But these days, my mind is a jumble around love and relationships. Not answering this one yet.

What is one thing (activity, food, career, event, travel, etc.) that you’d like to try in 2012? Why haven’t you tried it yet? What makes 2012 the year to try it? #resound11

I’ve wanted to travel to England since high school when I fell in love with my first band, Duran Duran, and most of the Second British Invasion. Since then, I’ve added other locations to my wish list: Amsterdam, Rome, Tokyo, Barcelona, Madrid, Milan, Paris, etc. Yet, I’ve haven’t been to any.

In high school and during my twenties, money was a huge factor. But now I can’t use that as an excuse. International travel prices are comparable to some domestic travel. The biggest obstacle I have now is fear. I don’t know anyone who lives outside of North America. So I won’t be visiting anyone who could show me the ropes. And since there’s a good chance I’ll be traveling alone, it freaks me out a bit. I think I’ve seen too many (bad) movies about abduction in foreign countries.

At any rate, I’m re-committing to traveling internationally in 2012. Who knows, I may fall in love with a new country and want to move. The world is my oyster, after all.
