					<description><![CDATA[I personally feel that not only perpetual travel may not be sustainable, but does it truly yield a good travel story? Even if you make one trip a year, it needs to yield a good/great story; otherwise it’s just traveling to tell tales told before. And who needs that? ?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One really must be open to changing plans when it feels right. People evolve.  I can&#039;t imagine traveling today according to a plan I formed, say, five or ten years ago.  While my plans evolve all the time, I enjoy having a home base that I can stuff full of books (that I need and refer to all the time) and bits of art collected in my travels. Staying &#039;home&#039; is energizing, too, when you renew and maintain contacts and relationships that refuel you. One can miss a lot of opportunities by not considering options that fall outside the parameters of a rigid travel or life plan.]]></description>
