I’ve never seen a family as tight as this unit. I don’t think calling them the 3 Musketeers would even do them justice. It’s people like the Dobson family that remind me why I do this and remind me how much I adore community, tribes and collectives. There’s Shaun, who’s the youngest and Paris who’s a teen but they both care for each other like crazy. Then mum, Erica… she’s love personified. All three of them together show me what it’s like to love unconditionally. Thank you guys for inviting me into your lives.
see the world.
I don’t think I’ll ever tire of traveling. I may take a break from it every once in a while just to get re-rooted again but I’ll never get tired of it. My love for traveling was instilled in me ever since I was a kid. I can remember my mom packing my siblings and me up just to get out of town. So whether it was a trip to the next state for a weekend or a week, I always enjoyed the adventure. Not to mention, I’ve lived in 3 different countries ( Nigeria, Australia, and America) over the span of my 21 years.
However, now that I have grown up a bit I’ve recently come to fall in love with traveling alone. It’s an extremely peaceful experience. While there are many opportunities for me to meet new and interesting people, I also love the chance I get to sit back and observe all the various things that take place around me.
On most my recent flight (from Oregon to Sydney) I was blessed to have a day layover in Honolulu, Hawaii - I wasn’t able to make it to any beaches but I still had a great time. I walked about the town, did a little shopping, ate at a place called Fatboy’s, and then retired to my room.
Although all hotels basically look the same, just knowing I was in a new environment made me awe at the realization that there are things out there we have yet to see, hear, and feel - we have so much to discover.
These are some pictures inside the The Pagoda hotel.
