Karlie85

by Karlie85 - last update: Nov 8, 2009

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by and having a look at my pages. I didn't do much traveling when I was younger. I traveled around in my province of Alberta and the neighboring province of British Columbia with my parents when I was younger and with my now-husband as I got older. I didn't fly until I was 22. Then last year, at 23, I went to Europe for the first time. Something came over me! Now that I've gone to both Hawaii and Europe for a second time, the bug has gotten even worse. I find myself thinking about places I could go and things I could see all the time, and wondering if I have enough space on the calendar to do it. It seems as though I'm always thinking about where I've been and returning to those places I love. I want to see this wide world, but going to Europe also made me really appreciate where I'm from, so I'm trying to take weekend trips whenever I can, weather permitting! VT has certainly made a big impression on me. People have written so many wonderful pages that inspire me to travel, and I hope my pages can inspire a few people, too! Who knows where the future will take us all. Maybe one day our paths will cross, whether on VT or in person!

I appreciate you taking the time to look at my pages, but I have to warn you about something. I don't think that I'm very good at writing intro's to pages. Sometimes I think photos speak more than I could say, and I don't know how to adequately sum up a place. Most of my pages will have tips and photos but no intro. Trust me, this is not because I am lazy at all. It is because I am still trying to think of the perfect words, so I'd rather have no intro than one that I think isn't very good. Thank you!

**TRIPS PLANNED**

Nothing set in stone, but hoping for Cuba in the winter

POSTCARDS!

I love collecting postcards :) I've been collecting them for as long as I can recall. It would be awesome to receive a postcard from every country (preferably mailed from that country), but that is not my goal. I really just love getting things in the mail and maybe making new friends along the way. It's a nice way to see glimpses of the world, some popular, some out of the way, that I might not ever get a chance to see. If you would like one from me, I would be happy to send one.

***MY MAILING ADDRESS***
Karlie M
Box 40003 Baker Centre Postal Outlet

*If you send me a postcard, will you please write the date on it:)*

I used to be terrified of flying and would never go anywhere for fear of dying in a plane crash. To be honest with you, I'm still terrified. I always wanted to see the world, but I was too scared. Discovering VT, meeting everyone and looking at all of these gorgeous pages has made me open up my eyes a little bit wider. We have a terrific, beautiful, diverse world here, and to miss it and to stay in my little corner forever would be a crime. I still haven't flown, but I have trips planned, and I have to fly! I feel like I would be incomplete if I didn't see the rest of this world. I feel connected to everyone out there, and travelling will make me a more complete person. I may not be able to travel as frequently as some because of financial restrictions, but I will as much as I can!

PLACES I HOPE TO VISIT ONE DAY:

Malta
Japan
New York City
Spain
Brazil
Argentina
Egypt
Bora Bora
France
Portugal
Peru

And many, MANY more!
***PALS***
Please check out my friend and VT member PALS homepage. He is an artist who is also suffering from the disease ALS. He would like to have his artwork photographed in every country in the world, as well as raise awareness about ALS. I think he is doing a great job of both. Pay him a visit :)
