My parents love to travel. As a result, my brother and I grew up traveling, both locally and afar. I discovered that each new place had its own ‘feel,’ created by the unique culture, landscape, history, language, and wildlife.
A person once told me he believes there’s no point traveling unless you do something in your travels that you’ve never done before. I understand what he means, but for me, I never had to be doing something different: what I craved wasn’t the activities, but the exploration. I craved discovering that unique feel that made the place special: made it a different experience than anywhere I’d been before.
I wanted to be doing something, but that something was wandering, sightseeing, and just sitting in a local restaurant. I wanted to be absorbed in the conversations around me, spoken in another language. I wanted to take in the architecture. I wanted to stop to examine every little bug along the path.
Yes, the bugs! Since childhood, I’ve had a soft spot for animals. To me, a place’s wildlife creates some of the feel of that place. Perhaps it’s growing up in beautiful British Columbia, Canada that has inspired this way of thinking. Our wildlife – the beavers, moose, bears, wolves, trout, eagles – are a part of our identity as a region.
