Mother's Lament I am the Mother of this world traveler so as you might imagine the idea of my little Princess traveling around Southeast Asia alone (She calls it independent) is a little scary. However, I am also the Mom of this intrepid world traveler who has conquered third world countries in Africa and the Middle East and always grown as an individual as a result. So while I will most likely fret and worry that she has remembered to talk along everything that she might ever need since as we all know there are absolutely no places to shop in all of Southeast Asia and that she will be safe during these travels, I also celebrate her spirit and her willingness to learn from other people and other cultures. If we could all only be as willing to learn.
Being the Mom of a World Traveler has certainly been an experience for Mom over the years especially when I have been invited to go along to visit the Valley of the Kings and the Great Pyramids in Egypt, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle in England, and to find our family roots in Scotland. I have been to medival walled cities in Germany and most recently fulfilled my lifelong dream of visiting Italy and especially Rome. Yes we did do a cooking class in Tuscany.
While my free spirited daughter cruises around South Asia and keeps everyone up to date, I will try to capture my thoughts and feelings as the Mother of this fascinating vagabond child. Stay tuned as it will likely be a great story.
LUUUVVVV it!!! OMG - I'm cracking up!! Love the contacts, love the bite-sized photo keeper and LOVE the fact that a CD really can take a beating! I'm sooo looking forward to your blog entries! Have fun.
My name is Becky, and I'm a travelin' Texan who has been living in Europe for the past seven years working for the US Air Force. I've spent a lot of time in Africa & the Middle East (sorry, that was a long time ago, so no blogs), recently traveled to Southeast Asia, and have a ton more trips planned in the future.
Please enjoy reading my blog.
You'll find out very quickly that I am a bit of a smart-as*, but I am also very straight-forward, honest (no sugar-coating here), adventurous, and I can offer you good practical travel advice from time to time.
I'll be hosting competitions, and... full info
