The Journey Begins…Getting Started

Changing Conditions

Now that I am retired from my ‘day job’ I am embarking on more amazing journeys. This is the first in a set of blogs dedicated to get ready for and traveling far and wide. I hope you will join me virtually throughout this journey. You can follow me on IG & FB at C.L.Wanderings.

I am starting the new branch of my journey in Kenya and Uganda.

What’s in this blog?

Planning & Preparation…there can be a lot of it, depending on individual needs and locations.

A little about me

I am passionate about experiencing, improving and sharing both the underwater and terrestrial world with people. I am also a person who doesn’t eat much meat, doesn’t consume alcohol or drugs, 60+ years old, has some arthritis and type 1 diabetes. I share these things because they figure in when I plan an adventure.

How do I pick where I want to go?

There are so many amazing places in the world. I consider what I enjoy, where I’ve been and where I would like to go. I also think about the types of things I want to do like volunteering to assist with places working to save endangered species or habitats. Sometimes I just want to relax and be somewhat immersed in a community/area.

I decide if I want to arrange the trip myself, work with a travel company or some combination.

What do I do when I start planning?

This will be in the next blog.

What do I pack?

Ugh! This is the toughest part for me. I am a photographer, a scuba diver and require medical supplies. And clothes.

More about packing and lists and other things to consider in future blogs.
