"She has sand in her shoes" was an expression used often many years ago to describe a person who always wanted to be on the move, traveling, seeing new and different places, meeting people. Photographers, adventurers of all types fall into this category, as do stay-at-home types who only dream wistfully of escaping sameness. Whether one carries out the wish and lives life broadly in varied environments, or experiences vicariously the delights of constant movement, it is a lifelong addiction.
Exquisite, joyful excitement comes with newness for some; the sight of unfamiliar territory, an ancient landscape suddenly coming into view for the first time, eating delicious food that is an unknown culture's staple. Knowledge, experience.
Observing the world through other eyes, illuminating solitary life paths. Open the mind, partake deeply of extraordinary lightness, wander through life with unabated curiousity. Rewards are great, unexpected, renewable, unexcelled.
