Travel

Alright. I'm itching to go somewhere new and exciting. I always just pretend I've moved on from my life in Spain. But we all know I haven't. There I said it! I'm in denial that I'm back here.

After looking through travel themed boards on Pinterest, my travel itch has returned. I just want to go somewhere- anywhere- I've never been. I hope things in KC work out for me because I've been daydreaming about a new life there, from what Andrew has described to me. I was telling my co-worker today my life story and theory about living different places.

My whole life I had always dreamed of living in the cities, where I'm from. And that was that. I'd live there forever... Until I went to Spain and Germany and fell in love there. Now that I've been back, I want to live everywhere for at least a short amount of time. Of course I can always end up back in the cities eventually. That would be just dandy actually. But while I'm young with no kids, a home, etc. I want to live wherever I can! So let's all cross our fingers that going to grad school in KC works out, because it will be a new, fresh adventure for me!

We're all so used to being stuck in our comfort zones. It's what we know, we can't change it. I totally get that. I'm a very stubborn person and I usually don't like change either! But once you've become acclimated to the setting and environment around you, you can learn so much about yourself and the people around you! My favorite parts of being in Spain were getting lost for hours on end because it helped me get to know the city so much more than I would've if I had stayed within my familiar boundaries.

If you get a chance or an opportunity to move somewhere new, and there's nothing holding back but your fear of new places- GO. DO IT. Otherwise you may never know what you've been missing...

Me!

So I always feel like I have so many things I want to tell everyone, but then lose track of it or don't have motivation to sit down and vent it. Guess the nice things about blogs is that I can write as little or as much as I want, and it still counts as a post? ;)

Soo... I'm in school to go for special education and Spanish. I love my sisters and family more than anything. I love learning about new cultures. I don't agree with organized religion. I love all things natural and eco-friendly. I'm a proud pro-choice and gay rights advocate. I am a 90% vegan (I splurge once in awhile, but dairy/ eggs/ meat make me sick). I've been gluten free for over two years. I love music, movies, long walks, reading blogs, supporting homebirths, tattoos, piercings, shopping at thrift stores, and cooking. I'm generally an outgoing person; I love meeting new people and having in depth talks with whomever :) I could also people watch for hours on end and not get bored!

I studied abroad in Spain for a semester in my junior year of college and I will just say, if it wasn't for my family being here in the US, I would not have come back here! It was amazing and completely changed my outlook on life. If you ever have the chance to travel to another country (or anywhere that will give you a new cultural experience!) DO IT. It is such a life changing thing... I did have a blog when I was there actually [spain blog! ... in case you're interested ;) ]

Anyhoozle... That's a little about me. I hope to inspire you, or at least somewhat entertain you, for the time being as I share my little facts and goings on in my life as a not-so-average-crunchy-hippie girl!
