Today at my SOGO site, I had some good life chats with a group of seniors and some other volunteers. We were playing this game where you roll a dice, and the number you get shows you what card you have to answer. Each card had a different question on it, so we would go around answering questions. The game was called, "Getting to know you better."
There was only one slight problem, we kept getting off topic. Now that wasn't actually bad, it was quite good. At one point, one of the senior (lets just call him Joe) got onto the topic of impulse traveling. Apparently he was an impulse traveler in his youth. He would decide to go there, and when he got there he would call his wife and ask, "Guess where I am?" Of course his wife didn't like that too much, but that didn't stop him one bit.
He went up to Alaska for just two days one time, without telling anyone. He said that he would always travel alone. Joe also told us the story of him calling his wife from Amsterdam, he had just decided to pop over to Europe for a bit. This was all when he had kids even. What a guy. I am surely impressed (by him and his wife), and bit inspired as well. Maybe my next blog post will be from Japan XD (if only I weren't a poor high school student.)
