Ever just get the strong urge to ROAM?

[XanaDUer2]

since I've become disabled, I spend a lot of time at home. But there are times when I just want to travel somewhere, see new things, new places, new people... finances are a problem.

I'd give anything to travel to a safari park in Kenya. But, when you read travel warnings, it may not be safe. Maybe if you travel with a tour company?

Anybody else just itching to break out and roam? Like, it's compelling

1. International travel to some places like safari can be arranged

i know a few tour guides or
close enough thereof.

A bunch of vaccines are recommended in mosquito area / equatorial area. Not so many north of 25 degrees north if not too rainy. don’t know about south.

13. It's so expensive sadly nt

2. Every day

3. For my 70th birhday....I might drop a tab of LSD.

And spend a wonderful time revisiting a whole world that I haven't experienced in the past 40 years. I got 50 acres of privacy to enjoy the wonders of nature....

10. +1

At age 72 and on high blood pressure meds, I don't know if my heart could take another lsd trip.

16. great idea

I understand numerous states are on target to approve use of it with medical supervision. I'd certainly go that route. At present only CO and OR allow it.

I got this information from an interview with Terence McKenna's brother Dennis a few ays ago:

Psychedelic Research
About the show
Conceived by visionary ethnopharmacologist Dr. Dennis McKenna in 2018, the McKenna Academy of Natural Philosophy explores modern and traditional practices to foster the understanding of consciousness and the cosmos. In the first half, McKenna joined George Knapp to discuss his research into psychedelic substances, and the work he's doing through his academy. Psychoactive plants or drugs can open portals to what appear to be other worlds, which shatters scientific paradigms-- such experiences can be better understood through a religious perspective or shamanism, he noted. McKenna explained that his approach has been to have one foot in the phenomenology of psychedelic experience and the other in the hard sciences of chemistry, pharmacology, and botany.

One of the most interesting substances that Dennis and his late brother Terence McKenna studied has been DMT (such as found in plant brews like ayahuasca). Psilocybin mushrooms contain a chemical that is very similar molecularly to DMT, and provides a more prolonged experience into what seems like another dimension, he added. Further, the entities or intelligences encountered in these dimensions appear to be independent of ourselves, he marveled. The McKenna Academy explores a vast realm of ideas in many different areas, he shared, focusing on ways of knowing that go beyond the scientific. During the pandemic, the academy started offering online content and activities, such as the upcoming podcast The Brainforest Cafe. McKenna also touched on promising research, which indicates that psychedelics, when used therapeutically, may help rewire the brains of those suffering from such conditions as PTSD and depression.

21. The LSD of today

is not the same as the stuff we did when we were younger. I took some in the 80s and it was nothing but very powerful speed. Not fun.

4. I'm getting use to staying home.

Done a lot of traveling in my younger days, now home is relaxing with little stress. Most of my friends that caught Covid did so on airplanes.
If you get the chance, take it and enjoy it while you can.

5. Every day.

Don’t fence me in

6. There are cool places not far away to experience the ROAM.

Some years ago at an art retreat in North Carolina for my wife, I took part in playing with clay.
I made a fruit basket. I hadn't looked at it closely since it was fired in 2016.
It was a great revisit of a distant experience.

There are people from far away places near by who can share their culture and benefit from that experience while you are immersing in your own intellectual travels.

Buen viaje.

[XanaDUer2]

22. Thank you for this

Good way of looking at it

[Bristlecone]

7. All the time. I love to move around. Need to really.

[Earth-shine]

8. Have you ever been to a place called Xanadu?

With the band Rush, you can go to a magical, mythical land of paradise found and lost ...

or some disco with the late Olivia Newton John.

Choose wisely!

9. At age 45 I changed my occupation to truck driving. Driving

3,000 miles per week the last ten years before retirement at age 62. Seriously the last thing I want to do is travel.

[XanaDUer2]

12. I used to think about driving a truck

In sure I romanticized it

[sl8]

11. Dion? Is that you? nt

[Chakaconcarne]

14. Yep....My son and I drove to the arctic and roamed the area for about 6 weeks this last summer..

Both on the BC and Alaska side...

Pretty amazing.

[XanaDUer2]

15. Wow

[Chakaconcarne]

23. If I could successfully wish you there, I would.

[XanaDUer2]

24. You're very kind

[NJCher]

17. airlines are a mess

I don't want to go anywhere and won't for quite some time. It seems like every time you turn around, some plane is within 15' of running into another.

[Skittles]

19. yes, what is up with ATC

the main part of their job is to MAKE SURE THE PLANES DON'T MESH

[Skittles]

18. yes

oddly enough, to a safari park in Kenya....I have always wanted to see giraffes running about - I used to work with a guy from Kenya and he had some great stories....heck, maybe when I retire, who knows

[XanaDUer2]

20. I want to visit Meru Park in Kenya
