My dream is to retrace my ancestor's 160-year-old journey through North and South America for a documentary film. http://vodhdb.blogspot.com/2010/03/voyage.html
Flag Thisand if you want to make it really interesting - learn an instrument after age 40. When I was 39 or so, after living the full on mountain/snowboard life for 8 years, and just finishing graduate school - my whole life fell apart. What emerged from the ashes was music. Music started coming to me - songs, melodies - but I wasn't a musician. I began taking guitar lessons, learning to compose, sing and eventually taking on what friends told me was the most difficult drum to learn (Indian classical tabla). I was afraid when I started, but learning something new, especially as an adult gives you a new lease on life - it gives you confidence to take on more and more and to push the frontiers no matter where they are.
