What is this?

My name is Brian and I love people.  I also love traveling...alone...and so this is how I meet the most interesting and memorable people. So one day, my friend Sophia and I were chatting on the beach when the idea for this "blog" came to us.  We thought, why not share our experiences with everyone else?  The reason the word blog is in quotations is because I am getting tired of reading blogs.  I wanted this to be a place where people come to hear stories about the people I meet...just as my friends do with me over a dinner or a coffee or a drink.

When I say "people I meet", it literally means people I meet.   It can be from a vacation, a horrific date, the guy that serves my morning coffee, a neighbour...you get what I'm saying.  Life is designed so that every person you meet serves a purpose...sometimes significant, sometimes it "seems" insignificant.  People enter our lives for a reason, season, or a lifetime.  I read that recently from another special person I met.  We will eventually get to that post.

As this is just the beginning, my posts (for a while anyway) will be many trips down memory lane.  I will write about the people I remember from the past first.  As I get caught up, going forward, I will write about the people I meet in the present.

I will of course keep all posts anonymous.  Even if you recognize yourself in the post, please refrain from revealing your identity.
