Elsewhere

Many authors would agree with me on this one; our creative mind seems to drag our bodies to wherever it wants, whenever it wants. Sometimes it's just our minds that wander, but for me, I'm always craving a place called Elsewhere.

I'm a traveler. When I finished school 2 years ago (ew, I'm old!), my friend and I worked full time for almost a year, and then we went to Europe. Now by Europe, I literally mean the entire continent. We went to England, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Scotland, Ireland, Greece and Germany, to name the basics. We also spent 2 weeks in Egypt, which was both terrifying and wonderful at the same time.

I missed home a lot, but once I settled in again, I found myself being pulled towards the airport, my thoughts travelling (ha, pun) to the amazing places I still have yet to see. And since my profession as a writer will allow me to go anywhere I want to, I decided to plan another trip.

As of today, it is 3 months until I am off to CANADA! I have been offered a job in a resort called Nakiska in Alberta for the entire winter season (Nov-April), and after that, it is my deepest wish to travel the United States for however long it takes me, or until I run out of money.

Some people are afraid to leave their homes, some have no desire to leave their homes, and some people treat travelling as a sort of vacation away from work. I'd like to live my life on the edge, and travel and write at the same time. Sure, one day I'll settle down, but I'm not scared of where that might end up being. I'm excited to see where my writing and my wandering mind takes me.

Until then, I look forward to meeting you all in that wonderful place called Elsewhere.
