What the hell am I thinking? Did I seriously just voluntarily decide to move away from everything and everyone I know in exchange for a potential sliver of excitement and enlightenment?
I'm not Henry David Thoreau seeking a transcendentalist state of being. . . I think the closest I've ever gotten to spiritual enlightenment was when I first tried the Molten Lava Cake at Chili's.
Many people I have met over my college career talk about wanting to go somewhere different (maybe abroad) and spend a few years traveling and exploring new things. But I only know one or two people who have actually done it. I guess I got caught up in all the excitement of a "new phase of my journey" that I decided to take the plunge into semi-deep waters (I'm not moving halfway across the world, but the foreign land of Georgia peaches and hip hop is a big move for me at 22).
Yes, Life is very good . . .

Well its too late to turn back now. So on ward I must go...
So I haven't thought of a structure to this blog yet, but I am shooting for a blog entry every new city I travel to. Just a mini-bucket list of the next few months:
Things I want to do in the remainder of 2013:
- Travel to a continent on the other side of the world
- Travel to 2 different U.S. cities a month
- Travel internationally at least 6 times before the end of the year
- Go to at least 2 music festivals
- Do 2 new things a month (an activity that I haven't tried before)
- Go visit my family more times than I can remember :)
I'm not a huge fan of bucket lists (probably because I hate being forced to meet a goal, it makes the struggle seem artificial and the victory less worthwhile, for me at least), but lets see how this goes.
Next time I post, I will be in the ATL. Let me know if you have any suggestions on things to do, places to see/eat, or any general comments.
Peace, Love, and Hippies,
Maryam

It'll be very interesting to see how many things on your bucket list you are able to scratch off. It sounds exciting :)
I know! Not to mention I am such a homebody, but you will have to keep me on track and hold me accountable ;)
