I only have one friend who not only has the passion for travel (as in, 100% real, honest-to-goodness love for seeing & exploring the world) but also has the resources to make her travel dreams a reality. She's definitely one of a kind! She not only loves the idea of trekking different places of planet Earth, she also loves meeting new people and living new cultures. And, clicking through the pics from her recent jaunts, I couldn't help but wish I could be like her--a true-blue globetrotter, who can pack up and leave for any destination the next day without any reservation for cost or danger, without anything holding her back (no one and nothing she'll miss too much) and without any qualms about dropping all notions of comfort and luxury.
I wish I could be like that, one day. For now, I live vicariously-- oh so vicariously!-- through her.
You go, girl. Conquer the world!

I saw her pictures and was able to chat with her on MSN right after. I told her I was surprised she went to Pakistan. She shared that she felt more scared in Russian than she did in Pakistan.
It would be ideal if we get to see the world while we are young and able. But, unfortunately, we do not have the same resources as Karen does.
You're right, we just live the cultures of the places she has been to through her.
super! she's living it up, and we're hanging on her coattails :-p hehehe
