Dear Reader…
You are a lot like me. You hear someone tell a travel story
at a party and your ears perk up. It’s a fantasy and addiction all rolled into
one. Travel taps into an immediate adrenaline rush. The country doesn’t even
have to be somewhere on your radar. You sit tight and lend your ear. Your
attention span doesn’t wane during a story of the road, because you know what
the unknown road brings. You see yourself there again. You can relive the times
you have spent there. There is an empathy that develops when you hear someone
tell their tale of a far-off land, and that connects you to them. It ignites
your drive to return to that place.
That’s part of the reason you picked up Livin’: From the Amsterdam Red Light to the African Bush. You want
to visit these places. You want to
see yourself there. And it will do that for you. It will lay out places you’ve
read about but haven’t checked off your list yet. It will, hopefully, bring you
there and give you a taste of each location and the terrain. From Egypt to
South Africa, Amsterdam to Vietnam, Peru to Cambodia, India, China, and more, Livin’ includes a dream destination for
every vicarious traveler. But that’s only half of it. I want Livin’ to ignite that drive. Better yet,
I want it to light a fire under your ass—to make today the day you check the boxes
you’ve dreamt about for so long. I want you to stop rationalizing the excuses
you use and start recognizing the rewards to be had. It should make it easier
for you to stop giving in to the easy excuse of life getting in the way of
travel. I wrote Livin’ to become an
alarm clock for you. The time is now. Don’t hit the snooze button.
Love,
Frankie Hogan
