What is true north?
It is a term used by navigators and travelers of old. They used it as a compass to get to their destination. It is marked in the skies by the north celestial pole, and sometimes, when the time is right, by the north star, Polaris.
Why quest for the true north?
Someone said that the difference between a traveler and a tourist is that tourists pore over maps and visit tourist sites, always making sure that they have photos to show to friends, and not knowing what they’re missing. A traveler, on the other hand, doesn’t know where she is going. She goes where the wings on her feet take her.
I am like that whenever I am on the road, and even in my life in general. I have my own mind, I am not fond of conforming, and I am drawn to untrodden paths. At my age, I am not sure yet where I’ll end up in, but I trust that my feet will lead me to my true north if I let it.
Why theworldismyoyster.net?
I see the world as a vast place to see, explore, and learn from. I also love to learn, and traveling is my way of learning about the world.
Since when did you start blogging?
I started making websites around 2000 (back when Geocities was still alive), and started blogging privately in late 2003 in Blogger. I moved to Blogdrive not long after, where I gained a following posting my soul for all the world to read. I have since regained my senses, and hopped to Multiply to LiveJournal to WordPress, and then I decided to buy my own space in March 2008. I lost my first domain though to domain parkers because my webhost forgot to renew it, which is okay because it didn’t make much sense. I like this one better.
I have gained a lot of blog buddies through the years, some even became my close friends offline. Today, I am a proud member of the Cebu Bloggers Society, plus a number of other blogging communities.
Can we exchange links?
I only add blogs of friends and people I know in the flesh, so sorry. But if you linked to my blog, thank you.
