Motivating your motivation

I’m just curious – what makes you want to get up and travel? What is the kryptonite to your contentment that hits you upside the head and makes you check your available vacation days at work?

For me, it’s my miniscule attention span. Well, now it’s my job (God knows, talking about all these incredible places all day every day has me in a perpetual state of “where next?” -ing), but even before I was in the industry I had an outbreak of “get me the hell outta here!” at pretty regular six-month intervals. I just reach my quota of home and need a change of scenery to maintain my mental stability.

Ooh, and television. Gets me every time. Yep, I’m the dork who finds herself in Paris trying to find the same flag on the Arc de Triumph from the 2nd level of the Eiffel Tower that they searched for on the Amazing Race. Or went to Rainmakers adventure forest in Quepos, Costa Rica, just because the family edition ran through there.

So what spurs you into action?
