This is an inspiring and enlightening post. I've broken away from the traditional path with my career but I've always wanted to do more international travel and possibly settle in another country for a while. Your story has encouraged me to keep moving in that direction. Thanks, Lindsey. This is an inspiring and enlightening post.

Old women riding bicycles would certainly be a sight to see!Being from several generations of rural America, I think your assessment of a bit unfair and based primarily on depictions made by urban media sources.

I have a debilitating fear of heights. It's the one fear that has proven resistant to my attempts to overcome.I grew up in a family that struggled to stay above the poverty line. I think that lack of money has a significant factor on the percentage of people who haven't traveled internationally. (My wife and I are saving for a trip to the land of (1/4 of) our ancestors, Ireland. The airfare alone is going to be around $1000, plus our expenses in the country itself.)

He often talks about how it's all about strategy and pushing ahead even when it's uncomfortable. Definitely an appropriate analogy!You're right - fear is not the ONLY factor at play with the lack of international travel among Americans. I would agree that a templated lifestyle also plays a role.

It's just requires taking those first few steps outside of your comfort zone and then pushing ahead.Oh and onto the point about 24% of American's having passports, I think that has more to do with the fact that most folks are stuck in the template lifestyle and doubt they will ever travel than it has to do with fear.Great post.

I had to keep telling myself that eventually my hard work would pay off but it definitely took MUCH longer than I expected. It's a continuous process, tedious but necessary. I know you see the value in that :) Laura, thank you! I had to keep telling myself that eventually my hard work would pay off but it definitely took MUCH longer than I expected.

Where were you in Africa? Did you have a particular reason for going? I admit, I don't think I'd be courageous enough to travel for such a duration alone. Very admirable.
