Do you remember the first time you saw the sea? Can you recall the first time you noticed the sea’s effect on you? Perhaps you often dream of that feeling.

Close your eyes. Slowly breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Repeat this, until you feel tension seep from your muscles. Now, imagine yourself as you were when you first sensed the sea’s effect on you.

What a marvelous thing it is, in today’s world, to have the luxury of choice. Perhaps that’s why travel is so exhilarating. Not only do we have endless possibilities as to what we want to experience, but the act of travel itself is an expression of joyful freedom.
