Hitchhiking

     I want to see the world through different eyes, I want to travel to Scotland to look upon silver skies. I want to wake up every morning in a different place, I want to touch the stars in outer space. I want to dance barefoot through festivals in India, and look upon the pristine waters of the Caribbean. I want to lay on the ground in the Sistine chapel and stare for hours. I want to ring the bells in a french monastery, and photograph their towers.

I want to run through the rolling green hills of Ireland, and stroll through the cobbled streets of Florence. I want to take pictures of the children in the Philippines, and stay with nomads in Jerusalem. I want to safari through Africa, and fly over snow caps in Antarctica. I want to swim in the coral reef in Australia, and take a camel through Egypt. I want to eat chocolate in Germany, and backpack through Iceland. i want to climb the mountains of Norway just to get one perfect photo, and swim in the loch ness.

      I want to travel through the slums of everywhere I go, I want to make an impact on everyone I see. But most of all I want to help people, I want to hand out food to children and clothes to the widows. And all of this will be done with nothing but a ukulele in my hands and a friend by my side.  We are going to take a boat and sail until we've reached the farthest corners of this earth, and then sail into the galaxy and witness a supernova.

     I want to hitchhike through London and  get a sunburn from being outside too much. I want all of the scars I will get from climbing mountain and the sore limbs from riding too long on a camel to stay with me for ever. That way I can look back and say "oh this one is from Italy, and this from Germany, and this from the time that certain friend hit me with my own ukulele in Paris." I want to write a book about the adventures we have and the things we see and do. I want to do more than just exist,

I want to  live.
