I've been finding that a lot of things in my life lately are coming full circle...like maybe the universe is trying to speak to me. One thing I've struggled over for the past several years is how to marry all the different aspects of my career and education into something that interests me on a day-to-day level. A few years ago, I left the workaday world to focus my attentions on a new craft and also try my hand as a freelancer. But I had two fairly different paths that I was pursuing simultaneously -- freelance writing (to validate my very expensive and sought after journalism degree), and event planning/travel directing (something I'd always been interested in and finally had a clear opportunity to try). Ultimately, I expected someday I would write about my travels - probably in the form of a book I would compile that was more rich in information than entertainment. Non-fiction, of course...I've never been into fiction for some reason, and generally only appreciate books that give a great sense of place, history, and the like. Same with movies -- I find my favorites are those with incredible cinematography and those that really let you understand and experience the setting, even if that setting is not actually where the movie is filmed (eg. Canada posing as Wyoming!) Anyhow, I will write that book someday, but for now, I'm going to start using this blog as a place to compile my thoughts, research, and plans for all of the exciting journeys I'll have ahead...I hope you find my information useful -- either in planning an upcoming trip, or inspiring you to create a wish list for when you're ready and able to get out and see the world.
Happy Wandering!
