The World is Just Awesome

During a time in Asia that I was hotel-bound, and possibly feeling a little home-sick with Discovery Channel my only constant friend, this new ad campaign appeared on screen.  A smile slowly came across my face, and after 30 seconds I understood exactly how I was feeling about my travels.  The times when I wasn’t happy were mostly due to the intimidation of being in a foreign country on my own and out of my comfort zone.  However, the more I think about it and with this TV spot foremost in my mind, I now understand that my intimidation was actually an expression of realisation of how awesome everything in the world is.

Now, everytime I see the ad or hear the song I feel a little nostalgic for that moment back in my hotel room (I’m guessing it was in the Philippines), and begin to daydream about the very many amazing experiences I went through over my 70 odd days on the road.  I am sure there are others all over the world feeling exactly the same way when they watch this.
