"It's Not Goodbye, It's See You Later!"

The Title of my blog, from Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, felt appropriate as I am about to embark on this journey. I have "hopped" around the country more frequently than most, particularly in the past 365 days alone - Arizona, North Carolina, and Back to Pennsylvania (as I anxiously awaited my visa outcome) - but being a firm believer in fate, I knew one day I would end up on this road (or should I say plane?). Here's to making my dreams come true and following my passion, regardless of how cliche that sounds. 

I leave for London in the morning, a long journey that will land me at Heathrow around 11:30AM local time Saturday October 4th and I have never felt so many emotions simultaneously. I hope you all, especial those who truly are interested in my often spontaneous and impulsive adventures, will follow along as I document my journey, so a moment is not missed when I reminisce years from now. 


I can't promise how frequently I will update this, let alone what I will feel like discussing at that particular time, but thanks to social media I can have a public "diary" for my family and friends to follow along. First Post #complete


Goodnight Pittsburgh, Hello London!




P.S. Can you guess one of my in-flight reads?





She scares the hell out of me and calms my soul at the same time. Maybe that’s what love is—a total contradiction that somehow balances out.
