Working My Way Around the World

By: Magan Crane (View Profile)

When I was younger, I wondered what I would do with any extra once the mortgage was paid and food was on the table. Now, finally old enough to have that tiny bit extra, I had my answer. I work for the tastes, smells, and sounds of the whole world. I work for soft breezes off the Nile and for the snowy peaks of the Hindu Kush. I work for the blue-green water of Alberta’s Bow River and the smell of rain in the Arizona desert. I work for adventure, to seize everyday. I may never see every corner of the planet, but I can work on it.

Dear Magan, My thoughts exactly. I live by the slogan "we all own the world" Lets see it. Fortunately I have worked most of my life either for airlines or being a travel agent till9/11 hit. I have been to places I always read about as a teen. The Louvre, Paris, Macchu Pichu,Peru, The Alhambra in Spain, The Swiss Alps,Grand Canal in Venice, most of Europe, The Caribbean Islands and Mexico.) Then ironically 1 year ago I was hired by a Middle EAstern airline. Once again I am travelling. We actually go to Cairo so airfare wont be a problem. I have always travelled alone and enjoy it but never have I gone to a Mid-East Country. I am researching Cairo and I will most likely join a group tour. Thanks for yr article . I loved it.
