Inkling to Travel.

My soul is a traveling one. It constantly wants to reach beyond the horizon, and experience all life has to offer.

Shockingly looking back through my 2011 calendar, I have only traveled once this year. So far during my 25 years on this earth, I have been fortunate to travel more than many will in their lifetime. Some wish for it, some don’t even imagine. My soul yearns for it. It will not rest until the next adventure is underway.

How do I ease my ever wandering soul?

I think about leaving it all behind sometimes. Join the Peace Corps. Teach English Abroad. Help Non-Profits Internationally. Ooo! International Spy! Anything to live a traveling life of adventure.

You ever feel like you were here for something bigger than your present situation? Perhaps a calling so to speak? How do you know what you are truly supposed to do? It seems either way you choose is a risk.

My soul keeps close. It keeps watch of the path I am creating for myself. It questions me all the time. I suppose it’s a wonderful thing. I feel as though the years will slip by right before my eyes if I’m not careful and disregard what my soul has been hinting to.

Oh what to do. Have any of you satisfied your traveling souls?

It doesn’t matter what they think.

They don’t get it. You don’t get it. And honestly, that’s alright with me.

I know inside my heart and mind that I’m doing what makes me happy. No matter what it may look like to others or how random or crazy it seems…it’s what I want to do so I’m going to do it.

I have never stepped foot in the Mid-west, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t know anyone in Chicago, but it doesn’t matter.

I’m beyond anxious and excited to see what Chicago is all about. My flight leaves in 3 days! I want to explore it down to the busy streets…up to the bird’s eye view of the thunderclouds.

I’m forever a wandering traveler at heart.

Tom’s got us set up for three games…(this is gunna be funn lol)

Giants vs. Cubs

Redwings vs. Blackhawks

Redsocks vs. Whitesocks

The rest of the time being will be devoted to trying Chicago pizza lol jk Honestly we don’t have a plan, it’s more fun that way…you just go with it. Meet new people, explore new places. That’s why it’s called an adventure.
