Off to Buenos Aires

Off To Buenos Aires!

Plane leaves in 14 hours and I need to sleep. So excited I can’t describe it. What are my goals, what’s lies front of me, which parts of myself will I take with me, which will I attempt to leave behind? I will track as closely as possible my progression as a human being and the effect travel will have on me. And of course, the people. Essentially I am entering a foreign place both in the world and my head. I don’t know much of what to really expect, but will greet the experience with an open mind and a positive attitude. I will approach each passing moment with courage and compassion. What should I aspire to be while abroad? A good person who lives through impulse, intuition, and feeling. Can’t be afraid to put myself out there in an attempt to absorb new information and new experiences.

The funny thing you notice when you travel is that everyone else’s life actually goes on. The continuous story of a friend’s life is constantly being written, just as your own story is being written. We’re traveling all the time, crossing paths with others in the forest… yet eventually going off on our own, unaware of what creatures and landscapes lie ahead. I’m certain the adventures I’m soon to experience will be some of the most meaningful in my life.

As for the blog, it will continue to share my travels, thoughts, and writing with friends and family. Hopefully I won’t abandon it… I don’t plan on doing so. Anyway, pleasant journeys for everyone. See you in the future.

Adios North America.
