That was a great video, Lydia! Thank you for sharing your time, thoughts, and experiences! I'm inspired to leave my cave and see the sun again...I'm looking for a campervan, but it's so difficult to decide the right one (e.g. class A, B, C, truck camper, trailer, etc.). One of these days, I close my eyes and pick the first one the pops in front of me. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy! Pops

Keep exploring and enjoying the journey. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy as well!! I always love hearing from you. Cheers and Happy New Year Pops!

They're not as common as his famous novels, but Twain wrote several books about his travels, not only in the US but around the world, which I think you would have a strong interest in, as wanderlust and exploration are something you both have in common. It's some of his best writing, in my opinion, and it led him to become a vocal anti-imperialist, and to have very public arguments with people like Teddy Roosevelt over the aggressive wars being fought in those days in Cuba, The Philippines, and even the western takeover of Hawaii (they didn't exactly become a state willingly). I assume, given his status, that everything he wrote is available, and I highly recommend you track some of them down, I think you'll find them very inspirational.

Thank you for the great comment! I'll definitely look into Twain's travel books-they sound fascinating and right up my alley! I may do a follow-up video to share my new learnings. I appreciate the recommendation and can't wait to dive into his work in 2025. Now I'm hooked. Happy New Year to you and Yours! Lids
