Childhood dreams of travelling the world from "summary" of A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout,Sara Corbett
As a child, I often found myself lost in daydreams of far-off lands and exotic adventures. I would spend hours poring over maps, imagining myself exploring hidden corners of the world. The idea of travel held a special kind of magic for me, a promise of escape and discovery beyond the confines of my small town. These childhood dreams of wandering the globe fueled my imagination and set my heart ablaze with wanderlust. I would lie in bed at night, my mind wandering to places I had only read about in books or seen in movies. The world seemed vast and full of possibilities, waiting for me to uncover its secrets and marvels. I longed to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, to walk the ancient streets of Rome, to gaze upon the pyramids of Egypt. Each new destination held the promise of a new adventure, a chance to immerse myself in a different culture, to taste new foods, to meet new people. But as I grew older, life's responsibilities and obligations began to weigh me down. The dreams of my childhood were pushed aside in favor of practicality and routine. The idea of traveling the world became a distant memory, a wistful fantasy that seemed out of reach. And yet, deep down, the desire to explore and wander never truly left me. It lingered in the back of my mind, a flickering flame that refused to be extinguished. It whispered to me in quiet moments, reminding me of the magic and wonder that awaited beyond the horizon. Little did I know that one day, those childhood dreams would come crashing back into my life with a force I could never have imagined. The world would beckon to me once more, not as a distant fantasy, but as a stark reality that would test my courage, resilience, and belief in the power of dreams.
