New Find...

Still searching through my photos and thoughts of Machu Picchu...those shall be up soon! Until then, just wanted to post in between to catch up on my absence from here.

A friend of mine sent me this blog link: Solitary Wanderer the other day after mentioning my thoughts/nervousness on a big plan/dream I have in mind for 2013. I was instantly inspired to look into my plans more after taking just one look at his friend, Aleah's blog page, even before reading a few of her posts. Just looking at pictures and reading stories made me miss the backpacker trail more than I already do. So check her page out and get inspired!

I guess my nerves are due to always having a huge gap in between my travels

- biggest gap: 16 months; smallest gap: 5 months - both are bad! -

and it almost feels like I'm starting over each time I purchase plane tickets since it's not constantly happening. I always forget that feeling nervous is sometimes or most of the time, a good thing. That it means I am doing something right and just need a gentle push in the direction my eyes are set on. Unfortunately, unless plans change, which I'm not sure they will, I won't be picking out my window seats on any planes this year in hopes of making 2013 a good year. Patience is a virtue!! Or we'll just have to wait and see. ;)

Anyway, for fun, I'll mention one of her posts that sparked my attention: A Girl Who Travels... Noticed there were a lot of hits so thought that I would just see what this is all about. I've seen a few of these, different subjects of course, online but never really looked into any of them. I like to do what I want and normally don't follow things or ideas unless it is a useful learning experience. :-p As a 'girl and a traveler', I thought this was cute, a little too intense towards the end, but cute. I looked at it more for personality-wise, not do what this post tells you to do.

I hope you find the travel bug and it bites you hard. :)
