Simple rules that can make your travels through life a little more enjoyable

I often take inspiration from other peoples experiences and, after doing so, I try to change the way I live my life in order to live it better. As a traveler and someone who not only meets hundreds of new people a year but often has the opportunity to touch or change their lives I am always trying to find better ways to not only treat them but treat myself. While talking to a friend who was upset about a glitch in her travel plans, I recalled 2 websites I had stumbled across that I often reference to keep my outlook on life positive and make the most of the everyday experiences I gain. I want to share them with anyone that reads this blog. Enjoy.

MWAA

Somehow, I managed to get hired on to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's fire department. I completed my first week of orientation to the Airports Authority and it's fire department and I started my first regular shift yesterday. I'm ecstatic to be working there. Great people, experienced firefighters, experiences I won't have anywhere else my career takes me, my current job (next to the Antarctic Fire Department of course) probably takes the award for being the best one I've ever worked. I will explain more about the MWAA Fire Department as well as what working there entails in time but for now I wanted to share my excitement with this new job.
