This is me. In the World.

Two years ago, while traveling in Spain, I was set straight by a dear friend regarding something I clung to in order to establish my identity. As is common when traveling, I was often asked where I was from, and I always responded, "New York" as that had been my last stopping point. On a hot afternoon in Sevilla, my friend overheard this exchange and set me straight: "YOU are not FROM New York. (I'm not?) "People like you are OF the world, you are not FROM New York. Whatever you do, wherever you go, the world is your home...no matter where you have been or where you are going, you will always be of the world. Paige del Mundo. Sounds much better don't you think?" I thought it sounded cartoon-characterish, but I knew his idea was right. Exploring the world - locally or faraway - has always been my passion. So here is the story of Paige del Mundo. Paige of the World. These are my pages written while being in the world. I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I enjoy telling my story.

Somebody is going somewhere!

Oh, happy Travel Day! Regardless of where I am going - domestic or abroad - somehow on my outbound day I am as giddy as a kid in a candy shoppe; or more appropriately as giddy as a 5-year-old on his way to see MickeyMouse for the first time. I adore traveling, especially of the international sort. And on this Wednesday morning before my flight that afternoon, things were no different. I could barely sleep the night before out of excitement. I had board meetings at work all morning that were sure to be grueling; yet NOTHING could wipe the cheshire grin off my face. To say I was beaming would have been the understatment of the year. I simply love an adventure, and this trip was sure to be just that.
