There are seven continents and 196 countries in the world. In those countries, there is an estimated 300,000 cities. All of this civilization we've somehow built covers 195,000,000 square miles. In a country of about 300,000,000 people, only a third of us Americans have passports. Meaning most of us won't see other parts of the world.
Someday I like to think I'll travel around the world. I'll hitchhike to Wawa by myself if I'm lucky. That's a bit of an exaggeration. I know people whose parents were born here in Pennsburg, as were their parents. That's three generations in one town. They even went to college around here, if at all. I know they're "happy", but thinking about that makes me want to pull my hair out. I'm blowing this taco town the moment I can. Sure, it's a great place, I'll come back to visit, but there's a whole world to see. And it's right under our noses.
