Am I really going to live the dream?!

Being able to travel around the world was one of the dreams I had when I was a child. I know this will sound soppy but I remember when at home we first got a cable TV. I quickly discovered a new world of not only cartoons, but the world of travel. The Discovery channel became one of my favorite and I still can recall myself watching endless programs about India, Himalayan railway and building of the Great Wall of China. I remember trying to figure out what job could I possibly do to see and experience these amazing and magical places. I think at that time I was about 12 years old.
