So, I'm back from my voyage as you may well know by now- yet I think I left part of me behind...

I get the feeling my latest expedition has changed me somewhat- and I think it's for the better. Even before my month away I definitely had that 'travelling bug' phenomenon which so many gap yah folk rave about, but now things have moved up a notch.
I feel altogether a lot more restless, and sitting about, looking for a job and watching t.v. all seem a lot less fulfilling compared to before (although I must admit two things- these weren't necessarily the most exciting things to begin with, and also not much time has passed since my return). All in all, there's still time for me to resettle at home, but I somehow doubt I'll ever be quite as happy staying in one place again...

I find myself constantly thinking about where I want to go next, what I want to do there, how to get there, how to fund all of it... I've found a bit of an identity, as silly as it sounds, as a nomad. And I like that image of myself, more than any previous opinions I've had.

When I was away, I was living in the present.
When I got back, I was living in the past.
Now, I live for the future.


Yes, I sound pretentious. No, I couldn't care less. Peace.
