Expeditions in a Digital Age

I am no expert, but I do want to get my two cents on this topic. Many people feel that the world has gone smaller because of digital technology and the role that e-commerce play it's our society now. Although it is very profitable to start up a shop online or run a successful blog for passive income, it is still just as Grand of the world, and still just as hard to navigate from time to time.

Being a millennial, however, has its pros and cons. We are more likely to be accepting of others and put our minds to a variety of things at once, but we are less likely to be focused on a longitudinal approach to things. We will go where the money is and the job market is, even if that means sacrificing some friends, family, or job benefits along the way. That means navigating the job market has become much more difficult. you can now blast out your job application across the world in record timing. but, because of this, many places have more and more strict regulations on who can and cannot enter the country and work within its borders. send Skype messenger and online gaming has become so prominent, we're also much more likely to have friends across the ocean and make pen pals happen. It's a scary concept to some, but the others, it can be some of the most Comfort we have ever known. The downside to this however is that we might lose touch with the reality that is right in front of us we are so focused on meeting people from different countries and walks of life.

Shopping online has made a very possible to get killer deals on traveling at vacations, but it is just as easy to lose sight of how much money it will cost to survive both during the vacation and apart from it. Although it has become so easy to travel and make a profitable career out of traveling, it is still a very difficult Market to navigate.

So being a digital Nomad myself, I must warn the world around me that it is not all peaches and cream and hunky-dory. There are still many problems that exist in our world. hopefully we can circumnavigate the Monday with a little bit more open dialogue.

The Pagoda

There is an old building in Southern Pennsylvania that was established in 1908 as a tourist attraction and a luxury hotel. However, in 1910, their liquor license was denied and the bank foreclosed in Reading, and William Witman never opened the $50,000 hotel, tanking his investment. The city of Reading bought the property for $1 in 1911, and the facility was opened as a tourist attraction. To this day, the Reading Pagoda has been maintained by the loving citizens of Reading, and has seen lots of different people from different walks of life, including actual Japanese monks and scholars.

Getting my inner zen on in front of the pagoda.

The pagoda sits at the top of a rather tall hill and is visited often by people in the surrounding area. I myself have gone there a good bit. Their website provides a wealth of information on the location, and it is almost always open. It is a very lux and posh facility that has seven stories of stairs, perfect for any daycation or holistay. Its proximity to the business district of Reading makes it perfect for a bleisure trip or cinetourism, and will give you an Americanized tour of Japanese culture.

I myself paid the two dollar donation to climb the stairs to the top, where I looked out to see the world. And, it was bright and beautiful.

So, one day, possibly years or weeks from now, if you find yourself in South-Central Pennsylvania, come and visit the pagoda. It will be a voyage to be remembered for years to come.
