One of the best parts of my job is travel. This past weekend, I was invited to travel to Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa. One of my dreams was always to go to Africa and see the differences of culture and living conditions. The pictures that I took were only on the cell phone and then loaded to Imgur so I can share them. Unfortunately, my trip was very limited to just over 36 hours total, and many of the pictures were taking on the move. The full album can be found > HERE< Assembling a new building, with (delimbed?) trees. Firestone Factory! Get your Tires/Tyres!!!!

We were definitely warned not to enter any body of water. I absolutely loved seeing that place though. I want to go to Johannesburg now, and then South America.

Personally That is Interesting. But for my own choice I would stay away from other countries. That is how disease is spread and parasites that get into your body and not find them for years after its too late. I got upset when they were allowing people to travel to countries that had Eboli Virus. No one cares if someone dies anymore. So what if 20-30 people die thats not a bad percentage. If people would just think ahead of what they do. Those people could still be alive today.Maybe that 1 person would be the person to someday change the world for the better. Or worse case senero save your life !

So, let me pose a single, very simple question. Do you plan on living forever? If not, then why not explore and have fun. I had to get tons of shots and go through briefings to be able to go over there to support that mission. The people that normally get sick or diseased are not following the guidelines. There was a big thing about ebola, and what not to do and what signs and symptoms are. I have to follow the guidelines and monitor and be monitored for a while, to make sure I didn't bring anything back.
Just because someone is afraid of the big scary world and the fact that no matter how hard they try, they will die, doesn't mean that everyone should avoid exploring the world. Follow the guidelines in place, and explore. If you are too scared to go outside of your safe zone, then hide.

Very cool opportunity. I have only been to a few states but I would love to visit another country. Well, except Australia because everything kills you over there.

I am going to definitely look and see if I can find more pictures. Most were on my phone, and I am not sure if they transferred over when I switched to a new phone. I may still have the SD card with all of the pictures on it. I will definitely investigate soon.
