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.
