Oh the places you'll go...

This is the tale of a girl who ventured to far lands (Morocco) in search of culture, change, beautiful landscapes, and interesting people. She left knowing nearly nothing of what her next six months abroad would be like, with only a suitcase and a backpack and a little arabic in her head. A feeling of fear and excitement hovered in the pit of her belly. She kissed her loved ones goodbye and flew off into the morning sky to her adventure. The rest will be told here, keep an eye ;)

My personal credo

I believe in actually physically stopping to smell the flowers

I believe in staying in bed all day to kiss and cuddle

I believe that if nothing else you can always have hope

I believe in ice cream at midnight with whip cream on top

I believe that it’s only human to be wrong, sad, jealous, or angry sometimes; but don’t make a habit of it

I believe in equality, for all people, at all times

I believe in a good cry

I believe that weird people make life more interesting

I believe in the power of music to brighten a day, inspire dance, or change the world

I believe that we create our own reality

I do not believe that hate, despair, or a bad attitude have ever accomplished anything good.

I believe in the slap of my shoes on the concrete and the wind rushing through my hair on a morning run

I believe in the ability to laugh at yourself

I believe in the touch of a dog’s wet nose to make everything better

I believe that the grand city of San Francisco and my small hometown of Medford Oregon each hold beauty and adventure

I believe in mountains, trees, rivers and lakes

I believe in coffee shops, local bookstores, and farmer markets

I believe in the ability of the human body to always exceed expectations

I believe that a kiss on the neck will always give me shivers

I believe in the power of love to heal, inspire, comfort, ignite, confuse, create, enlighten, and shine, brighter than the sun the moon and all the stars in the night sky.
