A new beginning.

Here is where I begin my life full of adventure.
And I am going to share it with you.

One of my greatest goals in life is to see the world. Experience life in every culture possible. Try living in as many places as I can. Figure out where my soul is meant to rest. Seeing something new every minute of everyday brings this little butterfly joy feeling to my heart. Like when a boy tells you he likes you. Or when you see a rainbow. Or when your favourite song comes on the radio. And you can't help but smile from ear to ear. It may only last three minutes. Or a split second. Or maybe even one week. But it is a feeling like none other.

I started my journey in London. Where I was hit hard by the overwhelming life that I had yet to experience. I found my hostel was not what it appeared to be. There were people everywhere. Trains and buses and tubes going all over the place. No phone or internet connection. Everyone seeming to know exactly what they were doing. Or exactly where they were heading. And me. Sad. Confused. And lost. I had just left everything I'd ever known behind for a life on the road. Little did I know. When you are that miserable. There is absolutely no where to go but up! So I kept on smiling. Everyday, I would wake up. And see the world, which was calling for me to come. I have experienced so much. I've opened up my heart once again. To People. To the World. And to New Beginnings.

London allowed me to such things as.. Macbeth at Shakespeare's Globe, tour that Globe. See Wicked at the Apollo Victoria theatre. Go on a Beatles walk of Soho. Go on a bus tour of the whole city. Trafalger Square. Meet some wonderful people. Experience the May Days Protests in the city. The Tower Bridge. The Tower of London, Castles, Crown Jewels. Abbey Road and Abbey Road Studios. The Beatles Last Rooftop show. Jimi Hendrix's Last show. Sir Paul's current office. The Gorgeous Hyde Park. The London Eye. A Cruise Around the Thames River. A tour of Wimbledon's Tennis Club. Address: Number 1, London. Apsley House. Duke of Wellington. Oxford Street. Climb to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral.

I have come to know London and it's transit are quite friendly if you just ask. The birds are friendly and the squirrels will follow you. I have taken to a life with a single bag. There is no turning back. Until we meet.
