Travel Mindfulness

I have so many things to post and so many stories to tell, but I only have so much time! It's my last week here in Mont de Marsan, and I really cannot believe it. In between packing, wrapping up my classes, putting together travel plans and trying to say the dreaded goodbye's, I am also trying to reflect some on how this year has effected me.

Already, 8 months of my life in France have passed. Although I feel like a much different person now then I was then, 8 months is really not a long time. September feels like yesterday! It's amazing how much a person can change or experience within a time frame that doesn't feel long at all. I read this awesome article called "Why We Travel" and it just reminded me that among the many reasons I love to travel, one of the biggest reasons is being a part of the travel community. Alas, understanding and also practicing a life-long quest of learning and experiencing new things, constantly trying to self-improve and learn, and really, just the shear love of being enlightened, this, this draws "us",travelers, all together.

For now, I am going to get some sleep. But soon, very soon, I will share with you my photos and adventures in Scandinavia!

ciao mes potes!
