And I'm Back!

i am back with oh so many stories to share, photos to edit and memories to sort. along with paying bills and doing laundry.lame. this summer was the most amazing, challenging, busy, thought provoking and inspiring of my life. 

i have so much to share, though the stories will have to be put on hold until i can get my pictures sorted. but when i do, and i'm hoping it's soon, i will have an installment called, SEA (South East Asia), highlighting photos from the trip and a story from each country, along with some creative posts that i am eager to put together. please bear with me will i attempt to sort the details of the past month, but i am so excited about this little project!

though i am back at work today, i still have travel on my mind. 

here are a few of my favorite travel quotes.

after hitting up some third world countries, that last one resonates on a whole new level ;)

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – Maya Angelou

“When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.” – Clifton Fadiman

“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson

“Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.” – Paul Theroux
