This is supposed to be a travel blog. But the truth is, I supplement my travel income – or, to put it more accurately, my travel income is supplemented – by not traveling. I get paid to not go anywhere, and it happens in chunks of time. And, when it happens, there’s no time for gallivanting about or exploring.
So I haven’t had anything exciting to really write about. As a result, I haven’t written anything.
To fix this problem, I’ve decided to expand the mission statement of the Gallivanting Explorer from “Exploring the world” to “Exploring the world – or just about anything else, really.”
I’ve also decided to change the frequency of updates from my New Year’s Resolution of “three times an hour” to “whenever.”
I’ve also changed my personal mandate of “every post should always have a picture, because people like to stare at pictures” to “always have a picture, unless you are in a hurry or don’t feel like it.”
I realize that all of these changes sort of make it sound like I’m cutting myself lots of slack. But it’s true! By making this blog, less about travel, and more about anything I feel like, it will suffer tremendously from a quality standpoint; but it will make up for that by what I hope to be an almost incessant outpouring of unnecessary thoughts and opinions.
