Egeo Ambulo Cosmicos

I'm going to be quite frank in the post; I want to leave this country and travel the world. After, of course, I finish college with my M.D. in internal medicine, hopefully.

I plan on flying to Europe and when I land I will call home and tell my family I am safe, but after that I don't plan on having any contact with anyone in America. I want to sit on a bluff overlooking the River Tweed or go to to Ireland and traverse the rolling evergreen mounds. The mountains of Nepal, the western plains of Russia, the cityscape of London, the City of Blinding Lights, the shores of Spain: all of these call me.

Often I find myself arguing with this urge to walk wherever my feet take me. The urge is somewhat inexplicable. I will describe it to the best of my ability: It feels like my soul is trying to escape it's physical entrapment so it can fly and be rid of pain and worry and sorrow. I plan on embracing this urge one-day. This day will come when I can aid others with it. To afford new essentials while traveling the globe I plan to treat those in need. Not just people who can pay, they can go to their primary physician if they are sick, I mean treat the people who doctors won't see because they less fortunate. John Wesley said, “Do all the good you can,By all the means you can,In all the ways you can,In all the places you can,At all the times you can,To all the people you can,As long as ever you can”. I plan on traveling the world and living by this standard.

After I see the world first hand, I will return to America. But, the world is immense, so when I leave I won't be planning on returning very soon.
