A new blog for a new idea

Over the past three years of my college experience, I have had two different blogs. The first one was meant to chronicle the important photos that I would take throughout my time at college, however, due to my workload and laziness, it ended up being a look at my freshman year and little else. The second blog was all about my travels in Japan last summer. It highlighted my day to day activities as my brother and I roamed up and down the island. It was basically a travel log of what I was doing. I took a course this semester on Buddhism and during the Japan portion of the class, it hit me hard about how much I missed being there even though I wasn’t there much more than a month.

The idea behind this blog is trying to combine both those ideas. Ever since I was young I loved to travel. Traveling costs an awful lot of money, now more than ever, but you don’t always have to go far to travel. To me, traveling is doing something new and learning from it in the process. I gained so much from traveling the eastern United States with my family when I was younger, I gained so much from traveling to Japan with my brother, but I can learn just as much by traveling down the road and engaging in conversation with a stranger or attending a cultural event that is unfamiliar to me. 

In this blog, I will take you on my travels, whether they are to distant lands or just down the street. Hopefully, you will be inspired, and I will be inspired myself, to get out there and… travel. I hope you will enjoy and continue to come back.
