This post below was a fascinating reading about dating a boy who travels alot. It will give you pretty much the refreshing angle of view about the lover's life of a traveler. Lena has given me that chilling moment when you saw something magnificent in the top of Tangkuban Perahu mountain... and yet, still warm as a home chimney :)
Yes, she is truly talented with her series of words, and undoubtedly one of the best from it's field... Hope you enjoy! Ciaoo!
Date A Boy Who Travels
Date a boy who travels. Date a boy who treasures experience over toys, a hand-woven bracelet over a Rolex. Date the boy who scoffs when he hears the words, “vacation”, “all-inclusive” or “resort”. Date a boy who travels because he’s not blinded by a single goal but enlivened by many.
You might find him in an airport or at a book store browsing the travel guides – although he “only uses them for reference.”
You’ll know it’s him because when you
peek at his computer screen his background will be a scenic splendor of
rolling hills, mountains or prayer flags. His Facebook friend count will
be over-the-roof and his wall will be plastered with the broken English
‘miss-you’ of friends he met along the way. When he travels he makes
lifelong friends in an hour. And although contact with these friends is
sporadic and may be far-between, his bonds are unmessable and if he
wanted he could couch surf the world… again.
Buy him a beer. Maybe the same brand
that he wears on the singlet under his plaid shirt, unable to truly let
go. Once a traveller gets home people rarely listen to their stories. So
listen to him. Allow him to paint a picture that brings you into his
world. He might talk fast and miss small details because he’s so excited
to be heard. Bask in his enthusiasm. Want it for yourself.
He’ll squeak like an excited toddler
when his latest issue of National Geographic arrives in the mail. Then
he’ll grow quiet, engrossed, until he finishes his analysis of every
photo, every adventure. In his mind he’ll insert himself in these
pictures. He’ll pass the issue on to you and grill you about your dreams
and competitively ask about the craziest thing you’ve ever done. Tell
him. And know that he’ll probably win. And if by chance you win, know
that his next lot in life will be to out do you. But then he’ll say,
“Maybe we can do it together.” READ MORE>>
