Benvenuti, Bienvenidos, Welcome

So this is it, the beginning of something new. The first post of many to come. Travel, growth, and experience are the three things I plan to influence this entire site. It has been about eight months since I left for my travels abroad, and four since I’ve returned. This afternoon I opened my journal from my study abroad experience and wanted to share my first entry with you all:

January 1st, 2014
​
A new year, a better me. Big dreams and goals for 2014. I want to learn so many things. I want to meet new people. Grow as a dancer, as well as a person. Gain so many new experiences. I am so excited to see what this year brings. By this day one year from now I hope to be a brighter, more responsible, more respectable, and educated 20 year old. I will have studied in Italy for four months, moved into my first apartment, and who knows what else. I will write them all here. I am so proud of the woman I am today, and even prouder of the woman I will be tomorrow. So keep your head up, change and brighter days are coming.

I hope I can inspire you to take each day as a new experience, and stay motivated to satisfy your travel bug. Here I might plan my travels, give you advice on cheap and smart travel, revisit my experiences abroad, and frankly anything else I feel like posting at the moment. For those that stay with me, thank you! And I am so ready for what life has in store for me in the near future. But remember, always plan for the unexpected and take in every second.

Because life is for living.
