An Introduction: Mindful Traveler

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

Who am I?

My name is Robert, and I'm a 38-year-old world traveler. I left the United States in the beginning of March 2017. My initial goal was to see if traveling was for me, as I'd only ever left the country one time before that. Now, I've been to 14 countries and am starting to figure out what traveling means to me.

Friends, Culture, and Mindfulness

In the last few months I've taken up the practice of mindfulness meditation, and it's helped me to better get in touch with who I am, and fight my depression. As a result, I've found that travel for me isn't as much about seeing THE COOL HISTORICAL THING as much as it is about meeting amazing people and learning more about their perspective. It's been amazing to talk to people from all over the world about what they find most meaningful in life, and sharing the same with them. I'd also love to share that with the Steem community.

What Will I Contribute?

My plan is to post videos about the places I visit, and why I enjoy them, as well as tips for travel. I also want to post blogs/vlogs about different perspectives people share in other parts of the world. Finally, I'd also like to share how I have transformed my life from one of mediocrity in a call center to that of a world traveler who has figured out how to wring every last bit of joy from his life.

I'm from Oregon and was teaching English in Vietnam for 5 years. But you have me beat in the world travel business. You are awesome. Yeah, I love meeting new people too.

I actually lived in Portland for a year. It's probably my favorite city I've lived in so far. I'm on my way to Malaysia in a couple of weeks. It will be my first trip to Asia. I'm super excited.

Keep Portland, PDX, weird, they say. They have a store called Free Geek, where I learned how to build computers.
