IT'S A WONDERFUL WORLD

TRAVEL IF YOU CAN

There is nothing like venturing far from home. Whether you physically pack your bags and travel, or you travel virtually through books or in the game Second Life, it can clear the cobwebs that develop when your days and nights are filled with the same old, same old.

I've taken to spending Sundays focused on far away places. It gives me a fresh perspective on my own life.

Jazz Baby Productions had fun working with Gstone Turas on her latest edition of Berliner STYL Magazine. It's a Special Travel Edition and although fashion is the centerpiece, the creators and builders of the sims deserve much of the credit. Wanderlust is a German word that expresses precisely how a person can be overwhelmed by the desire to travel.
Who has not dreamt of living in the 1920s during the Golden Age of Travel, when the pace of getting from one place to another was much slower. I imagine that there was ample time for leisurely dining, and great conversation in a multitude of languages. I long for that time, but I do sometimes appreciate the speed of modern life - in the blink of an eye we can connect with the people and the places that we long for.
