Little streets in England
Whenever I say to people that I have never travelled abroad, I am sometimes greeted with a look of surprise. In the age of global travel, the idea that I haven't travelled abroad is a shocking revelation to some!!
I have never been abroad because...
1. I have a fear of flying (actually it's planes that I fear, I have many dreams about flying in the air with my body and I love every single one of them)
2. I've never been able to afford it (or if I have, the fear of flying prevents me)
I would like to eventually travel around the major cities of Europe though. The idea of soaking up the experience appeals to me (and my camera). And it is something which I can do without having to ever set foot on a plane. In the meantime, I have Britain and my goodness, what a beauty Britain is. From the beauty of the Peak District, the Lake District, Glastonbury, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarbarough and many more little hidden corners of natural treasures. Not to mention the intense beauty of the peaks of Scotland and Wales. At this point in my life Britain has all that my soul desires.
A couple of weeks ago I was playing with the idea of maybe next year travelling alone to Paris, with the Eurotunnel in existence, it's easy to do for the weekend. Who knows, maybe my camera and I will adore it
Peace

i know the feeling. i had a terrible fear of flying... until i flew to mexico. i LOVE speed and. well. if i could get my car to do the speed of that plane? OMG. i got over my fear right quick :) sadly, i can't usually afford much of that. i do love to travel, tho, so i've been all over the us. i'm about ready to take a trip sometime soon. i'm missing my hill country. i want to go back for a visit soon.
