What’s your travel style?
Is happenstance friend or foe?
Traveling nomad
Yesterday was cold
Today is warm and sunny
Must be in Berlin
Travel’s in her blood
Exotic climes call her name
Budapest beckons
Travel Perspectives
Roll the dice, watch the mirage
It’s Vegas .. Baby

What’s your travel pitch?
Mapped out and framed? Trains and planes?
Thailand by teatime
Bullet trains here … there
The Happy Wanderer smiles
New day in Japan
Tarry, Safari!
The lion sleeps well tonight
Tomorrow, you’re … LUNCH
Itineraries…
Morocco owns tomorrow
Tonight, we eat … sleep

Traveling season
The natives come out to play
Rich, poor, middle class
Climb Mount Everest
Pussy Willows in DC
Bye Buenos Aires!
Paris in the air
London Bridge ain’t falling down
Travel Perspectives
Slick cars, trains, planes, ships
Motor homes on the highway
Happy Wanderings!
Stay Inspired, have a great travel season and thank you for stopping by!
This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: The Happy Wanderer
What’s your travel style? Are you itinerary and schedule driven, needing to have every step mapped out in advance or are you content to arrive without a plan and let happenstance be your guide? and Daily Prompt: Clean Slate. Explore the room you’re in as if you’re seeing it for the first time. Pretend you know nothing. What do you see? Who is the person who lives there?
Positive Motivation Tip: Travel helps us gain perspective. It can shift for the better if we pay attention to all around us that is magnificent in other places. Let the rest go…

That bear is mighty cool! I think haikus are a pretty cool form of poetry. My son is learning them in school actually.
Been a while since I tried writing Haiku. I do like the one above!
I have a post on Haikus on my blog too (it is old though). I like the ones that you have written. We should get a Haiku circle going 🙂
This is so much fun!! I had forgotten all about Haiku. Thanks for the adorable poem, the great memories and the travel.
I haven’t ever been to this place, but it looks really nice and worth taking a trip to. I love those beautiful pictures and the poem you shared.
I love Haiku style of poetry.
Yes, I love flowers. But the pictures of the sky were just breathtaking!
I like haikus. This is a good one.
Travel makes me sane and happy! It keeps me inspired and it keeps me going. It’s always something that I look forward to. I wish it were always travel season for me 🙂
PS.
I haven’t written a haiku since forever. The last time I wrote a haiku, I was in grade school.
It is always nice to see how others express happiness. Haiku is one impressive medium.
I like to arrive with the awareness of the possibilities but without a definite plan!
Hahaha! I’ll remember that next time. 🙂
How timely! I’m traveling with my in-laws this weekend. 🙂
Well it doesn’t take much to get me interested in travel plans. This post worked in an instant. 😉 Hubby’s got Budapest high on his list of ‘wanna visits.’
Love a good Haiku! And all those pics are just stunning!
So interesting. I love your posts.
I must admit I don’t understand haiku, but I love your pictures:)
I never understood haiku, but I love your pictures.
I wish I were as creative to write such a beautiful haiku.
I wish I were creative enough to write such a beautiful haiku
You are creative… Give it a shot. Mine are pretty mediocre. Haha! 🙂
Travel…my hubby and I want to go back to Punta Cana, where my daughter had her destination wedding in 2013. For easy day trips this summer, though, we will probably go to the ocean a few times, since we’re in Maine and only about 45 minutes from the coast.
I love this… rich, poor, middle class… paints such a vivid message- especially in these times.
Looking at flowers always makes me happy. Thank you!
I’ve never been to Hawaii but have always wanted to go. It looks beautiful!
Cute poem & I love the photos! I remember learning haiku in school.😀
The bear is so cute. I wish that I was talented enough to write Haiku’s and poems. 🙂
I am a seat of the pants wanderer. I have traveled all over with only my plane flight as my structure. Thank you for the motivation tip.
I so love the sky photos. it looks so amazing.
Haiku is always neat to me. My kids just did a unit in school.
The flowers are gorgeous there!
Very beautiful poems! 🙂 Thanks for sharing them. I like haikus
ahhhhh nothing is better than travel! You can learn so much about life by visiting someplace new 🙂
I love to travel and love flowers. I enjoyed your photos.
This is interesting indeed and a positive lesson too. Sometimes if we let things just happen we are more happier because there is no disappointment. We see what is really there. Thanks for shairng.
Love the flowers. This time of year is great for inspiration and fun photography
Very gorgeous photos. Nature scenes and animals are a few of my favorite things to take pictures of.
You just made my day with those beautiful pictures and inspiring quotes, thanks a lot!
I love poetry and Haikus although I haven’t written one since high school lol. My favorite one was Tarry! Safari!
