happiness.

What a silly thing happiness is. It's just an emotion, an easy one at that, well most of the time anyways.

I'm in London! Holy jeeps! I can't believe I actually made it here! I feel fabulous, exciting, scared witless and happy.

I wish I could leave it at that, but there's more to it. I feel like I'm happy, who wouldn't be or couldn't be in my situation.

I'm surrounded by some amazing people, I'm learning spanish, portuguese and british english all at the same time, I'm taking some pretty amazing pictures, I'm writing a travel blog and I'm making some incredible friends and planning trips (like Barcelona next week!).

Like I said, I feel happy. Then I had this dream the other night. In the dream I felt happy, my happiest I suppose, the happy I have felt before and I realized I am happy but not my happiest- does this make sense?

I'm having a blast, but I know every day that something is missing, that there could be more. But hey, no matter what this missing thing is I am enjoying myself and I couldn't be in a better place. I know I am definitely happier than my previous state the past few months shown in my last posts. Getting away and going for something else has helped, I'm seeing the world and it excites me!

I'm getting there is all I can say. I don't know if I will ever reach that happiest part of me again, but I suppose it's something to aim for. In the mean time, Barcelona here I come! The rest of the world is next.  :)

A song to end with:


Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die...
Now you're just somebody that I used to know


-Gotye

a whole new world.

I have dived into a whole new world!

This life of traveling has always seemed to elude me, and I used to feel like it would never happen-that I was undeserving of it or that somehow I would be prevented from it. But here I am!! I am traveling and experiencing adventures I have only dreamed of! I honestly feel like I am in a dream! Every time I go somewhere, I feel like it is unreal-or surreal. Either way it is amazing! And I can only hope I can stay here for a while longer.

Anyways, this blog has been somewhat of a drag and not suited for writing about my travels, so I have started a new one. One all about my travels! And the experiences I come across. And hopefully I will be able to come up with some great tips for those that want to travel to the places I can only hope to see!

Here is the link:

Please take a look, let me know what you think. Offer your own tips and suggestions. I hope to post many photos and videos along with descriptions of what is happening.

This blog will still serve the purpose of writing out my life, but in a different way than the travel blog. I will be more serious here, so if you want more humour, hop over to the other one  ;)

Follow me and spread the travel blog so I can reach out to others! Thank you bunches for your support!

Ending with these lyrics (maybe I will do this with all these blogs....songs just seem to express my thoughts better):


When you're dreaming with a broken heart 
The waking up is the hardest part 
You roll outta bed and down on your knees 
And for the moment you can hardly breathe


~John Mayer
