As a travel agent I got really excited when I saw today’s moot point was maps!!! Travel really is a great passion of mine and is the sole reason my partner and I moved to the other side of the world not so long ago. We live in London and travel as much as we can afford. This year we have visited 4 countries and we hope to travel some more of the UK and 2 more “international” trips yet too.

Currently at work I have a client who is preparing to travel the world next year and she has enlisted my help as her travel agent. I am having so much fun helping her make her long time dream a reality! It is also inspiring me to become more focussed and intentional about where I go next and also to learn more about all the different ways of seeing various countries.

There are so many places I wish I could visit all at one time…not too long ago I posted a list of the top 5 places I wanted to visit here Two of these I can now tick off! I travelled to Marrakech with Dave to celebrate his 25th a few months ago and recently stayed in Tuscany with Dave and my parents when they visited. We stayed in an amazing converted farm building (our room upstairs had been the hay barn and my parents stayed downstairs in the pig sty!!!). Both trips were totally different but incredible experiences. Now I just have to plan and pay for the next few holidays.

I chose a quote to include in today’s post that has got me thinking about both the literal meaning and also the hidden meanings in it. Feel free to share your interpretations! I would love to know what you think.
