Adventures in Aging, Part 1, Around the World in 81 Days

Are you including adventures in your aging journey?  Kara Buckner is and she’s taking a number of Ecumen customers with her on her trip 81-day trip around the world through her blog "Let’s Karavan." 

Kara quit her job, rid herself of her house and her her car, bought a ticket on Delta Airlines and is going around the world in 81 days.  She’s been to Antarctica, Argentina, Chile and elsewhere.  Today she’s traveling to South Africa.

If you visit the memory care apartments at Ecumen’s Lakeview Commons community in Maplewood, Minn., you’ll see in one of the gathering areas a large global map where customers are tracking daily the global travels of Kara, who is the cousin of Ecumen colleague Andrea Nye.  Kara blogs daily on her adventures.  I dig her posts and her evolving defintion of home, which she described while in Buenos Aires.
