They keep moving it

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

I absolutely love to travel. I am not a touristy traveller as I immerse myself wherever I go.

I’m lucky I’ve been to many places throughout the world, and I can’t say I have a favorite.

A favorite isn’t tied to a place, a monument, warm water, sandy beaches, or any attribute such as that. The travel experience is all about who you go with and who you meet along the way.

Close To Home

I love the Oregon and Washington coast. It’s a chance to do a lot of nothing. I enjoy the salt air and spending quiet times with my wife and the dogs. It’s pretty simple and I like it that way.

Similarly

I do spend a lot of time going to Seattle and going to Germany. We don’t spend much time being a tourist. We spend most of our time getting to know our grandkids. One is close to home one is across the world, but they have a familiar look and feel.

One Trip That Stands Out

A few years back, we spent a good amount of time in central Mexico and I rather enjoyed that. It was so different and we walked everywhere and my Spanish got pretty decent.

I think I’ll always have a warm spot for San Miguel. It was one of the simplest and most stress-free vacations I’ve ever had.

    This was a wonderful and refreshing read. You’ve captured the true essence of travel—not as a checklist of destinations, but as a tapestry of people, moments, and connections. Your reflections on the Oregon–Washington coast, time with family in Seattle and Germany, and the slow, immersive charm of San Miguel feel heartfelt and genuine. It’s beautiful how your journeys are less about sights and more about the company, the simplicity, and the life lived along the way. A warm, grounded, and deeply human piece. 🌿✨

    Your review was wonderful and refreshing as that is what travel is all about

    There’s a little park by my son‘s house where we play ping-pong. The old Berlin wall goes right through the park.

    We simply just play ping-pong with all due respect to the relevance of history.

    I’m not much of a planner and I prefer to let the adventure unfold.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
