The Amazing Race!

Mom & I at Oktoberfest 2014! It was a BLAST!!

Are you anything like me, are you obsessed with the show AMAZING RACE and wish you could be on the show?  I am in LOVE with the show since the start...and actually tried out for it when it first came out, with my sister. Unfortunately we weren't picked.  I was more interested in the amazing travels, exciting encounters and races than winning the money! The money would have simply been a huge bonus.  I have always longed to "shake the dust off this crummy little town and see the world" even when I was very young.

My life has been an Amazing Race thus far. I have lived in Europe for a year as an exchange student, spent 4 years there while growing up, lived all over the US, seen the Berlin Wall come down, was able to write on it and keep several chunks as souvenirs, swam with the stingrays, ridden an elephant in Germany, attended wild Oktoberfest last fall, wave runners with my crazy 16 year old daughter driving me all over the water in Cozumel, white water rafting in Jamaica, snorkeled in gorgeous St. Thomas and zip lined in St. Martin...this is just a few I could think of off the top of my head. 

Life has been wonderful so far, even if I didn't make it on The Amazing Race!  I long to keep getting out there to see the world, blog and journal about it, along with taking tons of pictures. Perhaps one day my passion for travel and seeing the world will have me doing more of what I love. I would love to travel and blog full time!! One day my travel dreams will come true-I have faith. I want to live my life to the fullest and not let life pass me by, how about you? What an amazing journey it has been thus far!! It's been an Amazing Race for me and I feel super blessed.

Where do you long to go? What are some of your Amazing Race experiences? Please COMMENT below!
