Around the world...

There are so many places I would like to visit and to photograph. The problem is that I just don't like traveling, the time it takes to get from place to place. Sitting captured in trains and planes... waiting in airports... standing in lines... o gawd. Traveling manages to be both stressing and boring at the same time.

Hmm. Maybe I could find an Personal-Assistant-slash-travel-companion-slash-model to go with me.
Not necessarily a nude model, and no, uhm, "favors" expected of course, but she'd have to be model material as well as have a good mind and a practical bent.

EO..."but she'd have to be model material"

Good point, then it becomes a business expence and your trip is tax deductible...

Eolake Stobblehouse said...

Ah yes, that too.

BaronessBlack said...

Hmmm! Can she have three children in tow? Or is that pushing it a bit?

Uncle Ron said...

BB....That's funny...

All my travel companions appear to have moved away... and traveling on my own is fun, but not always worth it. Just the fact that I'm not model material! :)

Eolake you really should travel to exotic places, or even to places within Europe! Not to the tourist attractions, but to places where you can learn more about the unique features of the country. Isn't traveling "the best education", as the saying goes? You could travel in the business class, economy class on a plane isn't everyone's cup of tea. Or enjoy the First Class experience on a train. And you could even work from those remote places.

Yes, to some degree. (I'm not sure how easy it would be to edit today's huge pictures on a laptop screen.)

Hannah, I think you'd be fun to travel with.

*happy dance*

Just so long as there is time to be my introverted self, I'll be fun for the rest of the time. :P

Aww, shucks! If you hadn't said that, I had the perfect candidate for you! ;-)

"Eolake you really should travel to exotic places, or even to places within Europe!"
To an American, that's redundant!

"but to places where you can learn more about the unique features of the country."
Absolument.
Just watch for the occasional killer tomato attack when in France...
I heard that milk on the Continent was also rather angry lately.
"Not mad, angry! ANGRRRY! Baaa! Mad is for cows!"

"You could travel in the business class, economy class on a plane isn't everyone's cup of tea."
'specially if you have long legs...

"Just the fact that I'm not model material! :)"
Hannah,
It depends, baby. It depends.
I'm sure Rubens would deem you far too skinny to model for him, but there are other, more wide-viewed artists out there.

"Just so long as there is time to be my introverted self, I'll be fun for the rest of the time."
Why? When you're your introverted self, you're not having any fun? ;-)
