I Love to travel!  I find great joy when given the chance to discover new places and revisit enjoyable locations that need more time to explore.  I think the joy of discovery is a part of what makes us human and keep the living of our lives fascinating!  I've found that my spirit is refreshed, my mind is alive; I feel the rush and stress of life subside.  I've found a secret in my life that the depth of my joy to discover is fueled by the strength of my curiosity.   This curiosity becomes the catalyst to my creativity and even my photography!   You might read that and say, "Big Deal!"  I would answer, yeah..it is a big deal.  Here's what I know.  Perhaps the most important life attitude might be that of curiosity.  Curiosity is state of active interest or genuinely wanting to know more about something — allows you to embrace unfamiliar circumstances, overcome fears, by giving you a greater opportunity to experience the joy discovery . Indeed, studies show that life is better when you're curious. The power of curiosity comes from its ability to help us learn and grow. It stops us from becoming obsolete, fills in our blind spots and improves our self-awareness. It makes your mind active instead of passive.  Curious people ask questions and search for answers. Their minds are always active. Since the mind is like a muscle which becomes stronger through continual exercise, the mental exercise caused by curiosity makes your mind stronger and stronger and at the least cause you to live longer!  So...STAY CURIOUS!

Rome is an incredible place to visit.  Opportunities abound for discovery!
