I wanna go on a roadtrip someday. Alone or with someone I love or with friends. I wanna get away. Explore places. Sleep in the car or planes. Stop a lot just to admire the view. Visit museums and try out coffee shops. Listen to my favorite albums while driving. Have a polaroid camera. Take pretty pictures of the sunrise. Take pictures of myself. Run through a forest. Chase fog. Chase the sun. Spend hours on a field making flower crowns. Feel the wind in my hair. Buy souvenirs. Meet people. Take time to observe. I wanna make memories. I wanna feel alive.
When I say I want to travel the world, I don't mean I want to stay at resorts and go on tours with tour guides or buy key chains of souvenir shops.
I don't want to be a tourist. When I say I want to travel I mean I want to explore another country and become part of it.
I want to discover small coffee shops in Germany and Italy and France. I want to walk on beaches in Australia and browse the bookstores of England. I want to hike the Great Wall of China and go cliff diving in Hawaii.

I want to look at a map and be able to remember how I was transformed by the places I’ve been to, the things I’ve seen and the people I've met, food i've eaten, bed and tents i've slept in. I want to meet people who are not like me, but people who I can like all the same. I want to take pictures of things and places I've never seen before. I want to see things with new eyes. I want to see things with new eyes.
I want to look at a map and be able to remember how I was transformed by the places I’ve been to, the things I've seen and the people I've met. I want to come home and realize that I have not come home whole, but left a piece of my heart in each place I have been. This, I think, is what is at the heart of adventure and this is why I plan on making my life one”.
