- You might find him in an airport or at a book store browsing the travel guides
- Allow him to paint a picture that brings you into his world. He might talk fast and miss small details because he’s so excited to be heard. Bask in his enthusiasm.
- Date a boy who’s lived out of a backpack because he lives happily with less.
- He’s seen how a life without luxury can mean a life fueled by relationships and family, rather than a life that fuels fancy cars and ego.
- He looks at the world with the eyes of a five-year-old, curious and hungry.
- The I’ve-missed-you-hug is the best type of hug in the whole world.
- He also knows that goodbyes are just prolonged see-you-laters and that ‘hello’ is only as far away as the nearest internet cafe.
- Don’t hold onto this boy. Let this boy go and go with him.
- He will calm your nerves when you’re about to miss a flight or when your rental blows a flat, because he knows the journey is the adventure. He will make light of the unsavory noises you make when you – and you will – get food poisoning. He will make you laugh through the discomfort all while dabbing your forehead with a cold cloth and nursing you with bottled water. He will make you feel like you’re home.
- When you see something beautiful, he will hold your hand in silence, in awe the history of where his feet stand, and the fact that you’re with him.
- He will live in every moment with you, because this is how he lives his life.
- You may lose him for a bit, but he will always come home bearing a new story and a souvenir he picked up because it reminded him of you, like it was made for you, and because he missed you.
He’ll propose when you’ve breached your comfort-zone, whether it be a fear like skydiving or swimming with sharks, or sitting next to the smelly person on an overcrowded bus. It won’t be with a diamond ring, but with a token from a native culture or inspired by nature, like the penguin and the pebble.
- Together you will make the whole world your home.
- You will have children that have the names of the characters you met on your journeys, the foreign names of people who dug a special place in your heart if only for a few days.
- He’ll teach your children the beauty of a single stone, the history of the Incas and he will instill in them the bravery of possibility. He will explain to them that masking opportunity, there is fear. He will teach them to conquer it.
- You deserve to look at life through the eyes of youth and with your arms wide open. Because this is where you will find joy. And better, you will find joy together.
And if you can’t find him, travel. Go. Embrace it. Explore the world for yourself because dreams are the stuff reality is made from.
