I enjoyed it, especially how you say: “The biggest piece is how I changed. At twenty-seven, looking back with clarity, I see that as the moment my life changed, the moment my world opened up.” This is why we with www.extendedworldtravel.com want to encourage more people to really follow their dream and go for it. And you are an inspiration in that sense. Thank you! Great post. I enjoyed it, especially how you say:

I recognize the sense of the world not being as big as it once was...but the way to keep being inspired by new places seems to be to look more deeply into them, which I think you do. Keep on!! Have a wonderful time in Beirut, Jill.

You were certainly not alone in your angst or your need for food, attention, and excitement! Honestly, I'm a little envious. After traveling in my 20's, I seem to have hunkered down in my 30's. May your adventures continue...and may mine be rekindled. Really beautiful post, Jillian. You were certainly not alone in your angst or your need for food, attention, and excitement!

I love that idea; I imagine there might be a lot of sadness or joy five, ten or twenty years down the road when we are able to look back at the places we saw the way they used to be. I know Ethan Zuckerman has written extensively on that. I also sometimes get this feeling of nostalgia for things I never had the chance to experience, the childhoods I never got to have. Have you ever experienced that? Thank you Josh.

My very first trip abroad was around that age too; I went to the UK at 14 with my school band and although we were only there for ten short days, my world opened up. I hadn't realized that anything else existed, but once I did, there was no going back. Thank you dear abufares!

I do too - Have you written about your Peace Corps experience anywhere that I can find? I sometimes regret not doing Peace Corps, but I also think that I would dislike the certain structural boundaries that go along with it. Thank you, James.
