‘Hide and Seek’ is the classic game we all played as kids. At times I can’t help but think I’m still playing it, only now I’m not sure whose team I am on. Lemme try and clarify. What is the typical ‘traveler’ doing? Hiding or Seeking? One way a travel could look at it is:
My name is Chris. So what else do you need to know? Stuff about my family, or where I'm from? None of that matters. Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose, looking for something more beautiful, something more exciting and yes I admit, something more dangerous. So after eighteen hours in the back of an airplane, three dumb movies, two plastic meals, six beers and absolutely no sleep, I finally touch down to the next new thing.

Now there is a guy on a mission, right? He is acting, not reacting, right? Therefore we have ourselves a Seeker. Lets add a twist. I’ve been on of those three year self-appointed self-financed sabbaticals you might have been hearing so much about … you know, to increase my international exposure.
At what point does the seeker, after not seeing what he is suppose to find, become the hider? Why doesn’t he find it? What is he running away from? Alls I can say is I’m definitely not lost, I’m just not found.
