Since I’m currently busy fighting a variety of legal running battles with the Canadian government, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the creators of Degrassi Junior High and Due South (see my last post), I’m unavailable to blog. This is my gift to you today, dear reader.
Instead, please welcome the sixth of eight writers (following Robin, Lisa, Cherrye, Danielle and Laura) volunteering to keep the lights on in my semi-abandoned, Canuck-sieged corner of the Web by answering the following question:
“Let’s imagine I’ve never travelled, and I’ve never wanted to. What am I missing out on?”
(Feeling like I’m being hypocritical in not answering this question myself? It’s true – I am. Nya nya. However, after my next and final guest in the series, I’ll make amends. If you’re good).
Take it away, Cecil Lee of Travel Feeder!
(No, not literally. Put that down, please).

After getting know the question Mike threw on me weeks ago, I was horrified. “Let’s imagine I’ve never travelled, and I’ve never wanted to. What am I missing out on?” In actual fact, the more I think over the question, the more I feel I’m nothing.
First let’s turn back in time to about 2 years ago when I started blogging travel. I started to write stories of my travel experience and also articles on many travel topics. Because of my great interest in blogging travel, I started to travel more, and more. In order to enrich the contents of my travel blog, I’m getting passionate to travel to many other countries.
Thanks to all the supports from readers all over the world, my travel blog has been gaining popularity gradually and more and more bodies are sponsoring me and motivate me to keep adding useful contents to this travel blog. Money were also coming in. With this income, I can now thinking of traveling to some my favourite countries such as planning a New Zealand holidays in the short future!
I can’t live without travel now. My mind is flying eventhough my feet are still set in my home ground. So what am I missing out on if I did not travel and had never wanted to? Here are the reaction chained consequences:
- I would never know the world out there is so much fun, full of fascinating experiences and full of photography opportunities. Holidays to Asia and tour to Europe can both open up your eyes as well as your mind;
- I would not pick up the hobby of photography. I lost most of the breathtaking scenes in other parts of the world and I will never inspired by taking the same scenes here over and over and over again! Without knowing the world out there is so huge, you will never like to shoot.
- I would miss out on those unforgettable travel experiences and I would not have much stories and photos to share on my blog!
- Then I will ask myself this question repeatedly everyday: “What else can I write or share on my blog?” Eventually, I would give up blogging all together! and then
- I will ever never think of traveling, photographing, blogging and I’m going to lose all my incomes in blogging travel!
If I don’t travel at all, I don’t even exist here. Nobody will know Cecil Lee. Nobody will share all these to you…
Cecil Lee is an avid traveler who is also a passionate travel blogger and travel photographer living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He writes about travel for MNUI travel insurance and on his own travel photo blog, Travel Feeder.
