Things that Fly!

Planning our escape

I browse through the pictures that Lauren and I took while travelling and always end up finding one that makes me feel a little weak and curse myself for coming back home. Obviously endlessly travelling is a bit of a flighty notion. But in my memory, in the memory of this picture, the things that rested on my mind were nothing like the bothers of everyday existence here. It just doesn't feel like living here, it feels like getting by. Having had a small taste of an alternative lifestyle (one not found in university calendars, or told to you hopefully by persausive parents) I can't see myself designing my life in any other way than the pursuit of the such freedoms that travelling offers.

I understand that I'm back home and relatively broke and about to enter school. But it really feels only like a pit stop. Finishing an education, collecting enough money, and planning an escape. I think that this blog will slowly begin shifting it's theme from whatever it was, to one more of the future, our future, and what we're doing to make it happen. This past year has been the best of my life, and I am certain now that nothing is impossible.
