in order to survive...to keep pushing through....
dreaming is entirely necessary.
i live in a day dream world of all the places i want to be
all the places i want to go.
i have a gypsy spirit with first class taste and a babysitter's budget.
i have been spoiled beyond words to see so many parts of the world.
during my collegiate years I lived in Italy for a short time
and spent one month traveling Greece.
i picked fresh produce every day, i danced in discotecs, and smoked in snowy streets.
in high school i was able to go to australia, new zealand, norway, and london.
i held koalas, watched the sun never set, and ate waffles in the middle of fjords.
in different circumstances, i visited Singapore served in Thailand, and learned love in Peru.
i saw catastrophic devastation, poured cement in a Muslim village, and played carnival games in a barrio.
i have boarded boats, flown in planes, and ridden trains.
THIS is the life I crave.
a life of endless adventure, constant growth from foreign challenge, and the fresh air of somewhere new.
while some travel may have to wait
& while some dreams take time
i can plan some things with the passionate belief that not all things should be postponed--
today i plan not for 18 years from now,
not for a first class excursion in europe,
not for a sundrenched beach with a corona...
I Dream of A West Coast Road Trip.
In February I plan on getting in the car with my true love
and driving.
Driving through Oregon to Seattle with no official plan but just to BE.
I think this will be just what we need.
if i can't dream today, i won't see tomorrow.

DO IT!!!! I LOVE A GOOD ROAD TRIP!!!! WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WE LIVED IN GERMANY AND MY PARENTS HAD A POP UP VOLKSWAGON CAMPER! LOVED IT! WE JUST JUMPED IN THE CAR EVERY WEEKEND AND JUST DROVE. SUCH GREAT MEMORIES!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect plan. When I was in college, my then boyfriend and I took a trip to England, we didn't plan anything but to be there. WE stopped where we wanted, stayed where we found a place and eat on the whim...then I didn't appreciate that freedom to do so, now I long for the time to do what ever I please! Make some new memories with your love.
ReplyDeletehaha I love this line "i have a gypsy spirit with first class taste and a babysitter's budget".
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to our road trip....who knows, maybe we'll have our dream trailer and find KOA's to camp at. (for some reason I have a feeling you don't know what a KOA is...:) )
You better be planning a day in Edmonds to hang out with Lissa, Stefie, and I. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect to me! i'm dreaming of an excursion to the Pacific Northwest myself and hoping for a CA and London in July.... dreaming and it just may happen,
