4.0

I bought this book on my travels in Thailand, and felt drawn to Chris’ quest of visiting every country. It was an interesting read about the many unique quests humans have. I love the quote by Phoebe Snetsinger “It has become ever more clear to me that if I had spent my life avoiding any and all potential risks, I would have missed doing most of the things that have comprised the best years of my life.”

I’m on my own quest to visit 40 countries by the age of 40. When I travel solo, everyone around me sends warnings of potential risks I might encounter. To them I say, there are risks everywhere and if I die on one my travels, I promise you it’s what I would have wanted. To die doing something that I love, it’s worth the risk.
