I am an explorer.

When I’m in Italy, I travel. But I don’t have to. Because I’m already in Italy. And that’s where I want to be.  I am capable of appreciating and savoring my immediate environs.  And I don’t have to see all of Italy. After all, that would be impossible.  Just as impossible for me to see all of America. Or all of Minnesota, for that matter.  I’m at ease settling in one place. The city of Carbonia on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. Four winters there, and I am still exploring. Finding something new and delightful and fascinating virtually every day. –Jim Broede
