I suppose the whole moving countries thing has spoiled me a bit in terms of acting on my urge to travel. I've always had a sorry case of wanderlust; if you've ever read
The Magic Tree House series, you'll know why. The series was written by Mary Pope Osbourne for kids. It was about a brother and a sister - Jack and Annie - who live in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania and on one stormy afternoon they decide to wander in the woods behind their house for an adventure (as little kids do). When it starts to rain, they take shelter in a tree house they find in the woods. Turns out, the tree house is
filled with books on every topic imaginable and they encounter the librarian/keeper of the books, the mysterious Morgan le Fay, who gives them a series of riddles they must solve to help her and complete various tasks. These things are accomplished by going
into the books and travelling back in time to periods like the Middle Ages, the American Revolution, and the Titanic and also all over the world to the Amazon, to the North Pole, and to swim with dolphins.
So you can see where I got it from.
