Well it has been almost a year that I decided to live my life to the fullest. I gave away all my furniture, housewares, sold my car, etc, so that I would be able to just travel and experience things that I have always wanted.
This is what I have been up since April of last year. I went to stay with my friend in Canada for 3 months, then I went to New York for 3 months, came back to California for 4 months, and then I went back to Canada for 3 months. While I was in Canada, I took care of the animals on the farm, hatched 20 duckling eggs, which was so exciting. My dog became a farm dog LOL. She loves going out and chasing the turkeys (there was 18). I became the Piped Piper as every time I would go outside, the chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, would all follow me to the farm area as they identified me as the food lady LOL. I would take treats to the horses and every time I was going out they would come and look at me as if saying (Hey dont forget us) LOL. We have 4 pigs and they would come out and start squealing if they heard my voice LOL, as they also see me as the food lady. We have rabbits in the field and every time I would go there and start calling them from far, they would all come out as well LOL. I loved making slop for the pigs and making crumbs for the chickens.
One evening it was late, and I had a visitor. I had never seen a Black Bear so close, but he came up to the door. The windows in the living room are big windows and I just stayed very quite as he could have easily busted the windows. After about 20 mins he got tired and left. That was so excited LOL.
I spent my first Christmas in Canada and it was so great. I got to experience the snow and it was great. I returned to California and in January I went on an Asian Cruise. I am able to cross off some things off of my bucket list. While in Asia, I rode an Elephant 2xs, Held a baby orangutan, Fed a baby Bengal Tiger, petted a baby Bengal tiger, petted a white tiger, petted a full grown tiger, and a baby lion. I also got a massage from an elephant. It was so much fun, as I actually felt the elephant foot on me. I got to go to Komodo Island and see Komodo Dragons. I have always wanted to see one and it was a dream come true. It was such a wonderful trip as I got to visit the countries that I had wanted to visit. I got to visit Singapore, Bangkok, Bali, and some other islands. While doing some of the tours, I volunteered for things that where Volunteers were requested.
I came home and now I am going on a 30 day cruise to South & Central America. I cant wait for this trip. Here are some of the pictures from the last year. The pictures that are from the farm, I put in my dog hanging out with the guard dog. I also held a lamb that was only 1 hour old.
During this trip, I also cleaned slaughtered Roosters, made a freshly killed Turkey for Thanksgiving. My friend goes all out on decorating for Halloween. I will post the pictures from my cruise in another post.
