Waiting For Summer To End

Anticipation creates an uneasy tension that surges through my body. It wakes me at all hours of the night, steals my concentration and convinces me to create to-do lists upon to-do lists. The excitement for what's to come is coupled with the fear of the unknown. In the end I know that my fear of normalcy far overshadows the fear of anything that might lay before me as I set off on this adventure.

At the root of it all is change. The only true constant. I crave it, I thrive on it. For change is the only chance I have against the mundane. I look forward to the upcoming randomness, the moments of realization, shifting of my world views and most of all the stories. This is where I will share those stories. The experience officially starts on Sept. 29th, in Guatemala. The only plan is to head south.
