The leather-bound pages of my black Moleskine are covered in crowded scribbles, neon highlighter drawings, and post-its. Notes from the last day of Athens, waiting in the airport, remind me of how to just “let days go.” My European and South East Asian backpacking adventures taught me how to venture off the beaten path– to take obstacles and adventures day by day as they come, and to accept and appreciate the beauty brought along. Along the way, I met lifelong friends, changed my own mindset about life, learned new perspectives, made mistakes, but, all over again, just let it go.
Let me wander, let me breathe. My semi-corporate job is so flexible, and inflexible and straight and unbending as any, and I am itching, craving, dying to breathe. This is exactly where I’m supposed to be, and at a moment in time, totally not where I am aching to be at.
So. I’m planning my next few trips for the end of 2011 + middle + end of 2012, and thus I’m re-starting my tumblr and sharing with the world again; hope you’re ready!
