Far From Home

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

I am not a world traveler, though I’d love to be. Banff, Canada is the farthest I’ve been from home. we spent a week there seeing the sights. It was exceedingly beautiful. I’d love to live there, in summer, though I’m sure I’d be overwhelmed by the challenges of winter. I don’t believe I’d ever get saturated with the mountains, glaciers, wildlife, or pristine waters. It’s beauty is always in the back of my mind.

    • Oh, you have plenty of time. When I was 20, I had no money for gasoline for my husband’s truck. Once in a while my parents sent $5 so we could go home for weekend. This was in 1970. Are you in college or working?

    • Until you can afford a big trip. Get camping equipment and go camping. It’s great fun. You can get it second hand, at thrift stores, or ask for free used stuff on Craigs list. People buy that stuff all the time and don’t use it but a time or two.

  1. I had a dream for many years to visit the “eternal city” Rome. My dream came true 7 years ago. I visited Rome and was able to attend Mass on the festivity of St. Peter and St. Paul with the Pope presiding the Eucharist. Then I was able to visit the Vatican museum, garden. Sixtine Chapel, St. Peter Basilica and all the important historical sites of Rome. After a week in Rome, I traveled in a cruiser to the Greek Islands, Athens and the important Greek sites. I still have a dream to cruise across the Mediterranean ocean.

  2. During the fall semester of my final year in college, I studied abroad in Scotland. It was a magical, eye-opening, & wonderful experience. I traveled around Scotland and even went to London, learning, exploring, and meeting new people. I was able to run and hike the wondrous landscapes in Europe, a great way to connect with nature and find new parks. Studying in Scotland allowed me to study Exercise Science from a different perspective than in the States. I felt like it was a growing experience for me to be on my own and get out of my shell. I loved every second.
