A veterans tale

by Cameron Anderson (United States of America)

A leap into the unknown USA

My whole life has always been a leap into the unknown. From the time I started my life in the service to the time I was in Costa Rica some months ago. I’ve always had an affinity with traveling and wanting to see the world. I’m gonna use an old school saying that is so true. “The world is your oyster” i always tell myself. From the time I stepped foot in Africa back in 2015 with my Army Unit to fight Ebola to me stepping off the plane after a much needed vacation. I’ve always found that saying to be true. I don’t think I’ve always been able to stay in one place for too long. The idea of settling down is a scary one. A thought that just does not sit right with me. Why settle when there’s so much out there calling your name? Exploring is in my nature, it’s in my blood. It’s what America was founded off of. The principles of going out there and finding what works for you and continuing forward until you can’t continue forward anymore. The world is beautiful. It truly is. The people are beautiful, people’s cultures are beautiful, the different animals are beautiful. And it’s all out there just waiting to be seen by me. I don’t like to travel alone, but I have yet to meet anyone with a passion of seeing the world as I. I’ve stepped into fun territory, and I’ve stepped into dangerous territory. I’ve been shot at, I’ve been told to get out, and I’ve been welcomed with open and loving arms. None of that has stopped me from loving the earth and her people as the earth has loved me and blessed me with her views. I’ve fallen into roaring waters, tracked across hit deserts, and I’ve lived it up on beaches and shared beautiful moments on mountain tops. But at the end of the day I know this place is made for me. So here’s a toast to the beautiful night sky she’s given me. Mother Nature in all its glory. For I know she’s got a beautiful view waiting for me tomorrow.
