For those of us who are full of wanderlust, even if bound to home much of the time, I have a book recommendation that may get you on the road sooner than you think. "The Way of the Wanderer: Discover Your True Self through Travel" by David Yeadon, was the perfect book to read WHILE traveling. David discusses those serendipitous moments that I think we all have while traveling that make all of the inconveniences and risks and cost (time and money) worthwhile. A world traveler who lives both in Japan and upstate New York (another dream of mine in concept if not specifics), David in a very conversational style (illustrated with his own sketches) matter-of-factly lays out spiritual or magic moments in his travels, some of which came while walking through the valley of the shadow of death. It brought to mine several that have occurred in my own travels and caused me to start writing those thoughts down which I MAY share at some future time.
If you been blessed with serendipitous moments or wish you had, then get a hold of a copy of Yeadon's book - you won't be disappointed.
