In May, I came back from Italy, to a new internship in the city, and lived at home… quite broke. But I did it. I made a dream come true, and I studied abroad. I realized, settling into the job during first few weeks, I no longer wistfully stared out the window, wondering what else was out there. I had a satisfying taste of it. An appetizer to the world. And for now, I could focus on forging my own path in an exciting new industry.
I didn’t write. There was no immediate traveling, because of work and lack of money. I wondered what to do with this blog. I didn’t want it to just sit… but that’s what ended up happening for a few months.
I realized though, as the days past, that this blog is essentially about exploration, which does not have to confined to new lands or cultures, but the exploration of one’s own homeland. Doing new things, looking over the essentials with new eyes, finding new meaning. In the “About” section, I wanted to find a place to call home, but while New York is still my home, I want to enjoy it, and you can be a part of it, for readers who know the city streets like a taxi driver to those who are just visiting. And of course, if new travels arise, I’ll include those too, because I’m generally never full after just an appetizer.
It’s a new outlook, a new direction, and I hope you’ll enjoy the journey.
