Man, these are great, @anomadsoul. Always my favorite posts you make; I think maybe because they reflect so much of my own feelings on life and travel. I've also thought to myself, over the years, that Steemit is such an incredible immutable record for @guthrie and one day, @guthrie's kids, to read about how I spent my life. Just as some encouragement [...maybe unintended discouragement], I've been trying to learn German for 10 years, lol. Thanks for sharing, my friend. I still believe Steemit is a long form platform and these are the kinds of posts I yearn to read here.
