I’m going to take a little journey back a few years and visit my childhood for a bit..
Lately I’ve been on a Where in the World is Carmen San Diego kick. I was a super huge fan of the show when I was little, much like many of you were. (A little fun fact for you ~ Where in the World is Carmen San Diego was created by a team at National Geographic.) There’s a really good chance my urges and passions for traveling .. and my want to become a spy .. started with that show.
Secretly, I think every girl has the urge to escape off to an exotic location and work undercover, chasing the bad guy. (oh wait, some of us already have that habit of chasing the bad guy..I raise my hand) My fascination with the show has carried on through life as I love, love, LOVE learning about new places and have quite the list of future travel destinations. This may come as a surprise, judging by the name of this site, but my favorite magazine of ALL TIME is none other than National Geographic Traveler. What can I say, I was bit by the Carmen San Diego bug at a young age and just can’t seem to shake it.
In fact that’s one of my Secret Shifters. Looking at pictures from places I’ve never been, adding future destinations to the list, diving into the Wikipedia of someplace trying to learn all there is to know about it. Now when I say Secret Shifter, I’m talking about a mood shifter. Maybe I need a lil pick me up or I find my mind filled with worry and I need a little help, a tiny nudge, to get me back on track. It’s a bit like day-dreaming I guess you could say, but it works like a charm.
So in this post I’m sending out a big THANK YOU to Carmen San Diego. Thank you for inspiring me to learn about the world, inspiring me to see the world, and for helping me find one of the best Secret Shifters I’ve ever come across.
And for my readers..I leave you with Rockapella ~
