So it works out that not only do I have a blog already started, but that it is aptly titled(minus the first bit of my trip), so I thought I might resurrect this blog.
Although, to be honest, I am actually trying to decide if I do want to blog my adventure, as a travel writer, or as to how I'm feeling, or not at all. Part of blogging, means you are doing it for other people. I feel that alot of the trips I have gone on have been to prove something to someone. That someone, never actually is a person, or people, but some spirit, some being, and perhaps in the end, simply me. I worry that I will feel pressure to blog daily, to show others the wonders that I am fortunate to see. I worry that it may take away from what I am actually doing. The last time I did a full on blog of my trip, wifi wasn't really a thing. I remember feeling pressure to find an internet cafe on the daily. It tarnished the quality of the trip. That being said, I have recently skimmed through this blog and plan to fully read through it soon, and to not blog would deny myself that gift many years later.
This trip however, is a first, in many ways. It is the first time I'm going just to go and not to do something or accomplish something(half of the places I am going to I've been to before). I am traveling almost the entire trip with someone else(different someone else's). Also, I'm not traveling budget. I'm not going super expensive, but in most places I am not opting for the hostels. Which could mean I actually meet less people. In addition, I'm not planning as much or going to see things. Instead I'm going to experience things. I want to experience things. Finally, I want to just be. Not do. It's something I'm not good at and something I'd like to try.
So, if you are lucky and I am not overwhelmed, I may share my thoughts and experiences of my journey with you.
